Wow, what great colors.. I like the capture very much but the borders is very loud and pulling the attraction to the subject.
I have used colored borders also before, maybe its just too bright hues here..:)
very good capture and good clarity Jen..

Het was prachtig weer bij vertrek, maar ja dat weet je nooit, zeker niet bij Kaapstad.....
U is dus een echte padvinder, plu was wel een goed idee geweest, maar wie houdt em vast??
Had zelfs mijn statief niet mee, dat moet maar
wel de volgende keer, maar ik zit altijd al vol
tot aan overgewicht toe.....
Hier ook nog hagel en moet nog boodschappen doen, Char nog 2 uur hockytraining..nikx an!!

Thank you soooooooooooooooo much for your sweet comment dearest Nicki!!!
The fly was great, so were the flowers, just me
messing up a bit..loll
You havent been at Stellenbosch my dear???
How could you resist the wine, specially the tasting..lolll The sky was even different there,
many little clouds and very clear, somehow different from Capetown..definitaly want to go
back there, waiting for an answer yet to book..;))
Snowing here and lots of halestones, my poor daughter has to play hockey in 2 hours......brrrr
Have a lovely rest of the day sweety, love Jenxx

Jen van Wijn Jen van Wijn   {K:24075} 3/25/2008
Not enough patience though....lolll It could have
been better somehow, had to tie up the flowers
not waving in the wind:)))
And then stick the bug with some glue?
Thanks a lot dear Ercole, have a lovely day,
hugs Jenxx

Meestal neem ik een zak met spullen mee, blokjes hout, touw, metalen pinnnen, zwart doek, een paraplu etc en dan lokaal de boel vastbinden of een paraplu tegen de wind.
T sneeuwt hier al weer.

Excellent shot. Great color and details, especially for the fly. However, the picture is grainy... did you sharpen the image too much with Adobe PS?
