Rhododendron by Irishkate

Very hard to capture flowers in situ this year without their being drenched in water, but droplets do enhance many such a shot, as you have shown here, Kate.

Pathway. by WesternRed

Looks like those are very beautiful gardens with lots to see.
Interesting paved area!
The sketched version does help obscure the buildings better.

Chameleon by mashwood10

What an original piece of 'art work', Pam, the bottle tops recycled so effectively: love those eyes which replicate the chameleon's pyramidal ones so accurately.
And I'd never have known there was a path there originally, so your cloning technique is excellent too.

Wonderful colours, Ken, especially the combination in v1, but the inclusion of the figure in v2 just wins it for me.

Bumble Bee by John1914

Thanks Karen, no!!, after looking at the image on screen again I have to agree with you I don't like the frame now. That was done when I was playing about with photoshop a long while ago. Whilst having a tidy up I came across a batch of images which I thought I'd lost and there were some I decided I'd upload.

Lovely PoV. Great image.

Alchemilla Insect by Nigeve1

Opening your lens up would give you a larger DOF Nigel, but I assume you know that. I think as this is your first attempt you should concentrate on one or the other until you can see the results for yourself. Obviously the higher number F/stop the more focus area you will have. Each Len's and image will have it's own characteristic and the best advice would be to bracket your shots until you see what you want to portray....John
