    Smile I am happy

    I am an active member of Nature Scapes, an international photography forum with thousands of members world wide.
    On the week ending on the 24/7 one of my photos was selected as the image of the week in its class
    It is tough to compete there and specially with not the best lens.

    This is the image:

    Thank you, for flora and close shots I am using the Nikkor 35-70 that was part of the kit lens with the Nikon 601AF back in 1990
    For birds I use a Nikkor 75-240 not the best lens but it performs reasonable well on the full focal range in the apertures f/7 to f/11
    Unfortunately for bird photography some times blur the BG is important and this lens it is not good on f/5.6
    For landscaping I use the fantastic Tokina 12-14 f/4. It is a great lens and 1/3 of the cost of the Nikon 12-24

    I do not use grad filters, only a UV filter in extreme weather to protect the glass from sand or salt and the Pol filter on the Tokina when need it.

    If you like nature photography join NatureScapes (is free) and the critique on the images is very constructive and aslo there are great articles

    Cheers

    Thank you Blaze, the image is an digital creation (abstract) and the original photo is of the flower of an Eucalyptus hibrid.
    Many of the comments that I have in the NS forum believe that it was a photo of some sea creature

    The original image is this:

    Have you done anything (photo wise) with the seed pods that follow those flowers?
    No we went to Tasmania for a few weeks and when we returned the tree was kaput

    Here at Moore Park we have a salty sandy groud er....soil? and some plants do not last very long.
    The grevilleas are doing ok because they are grafted on grevillea Robusta stock.

    I just have done an abstract base on the flower of a kangaroo paw. I will post it and see what it is the reaction

    Cheers
