Lovely images Anne, thanks for posting.

I'm trying out my eye that was operated on only very recently (just my new eye - I will need a vastly different prescription to use both eyes for image manipulation).  Here is an iris sp. captured at the National Arboretum in Washington DC.

Hey,

The man with the new eye is back online. Good to see that it is working well, Cliff.

Thanks Anne and Paddy,
It is still difficult working with just one eye, but not to worry ...

These were two of my favourite flowers from the show at the conference Cliff - your images are really lovely reminders.... :D

Good luck with the recovery from your eye operation.

Having spent a pleasant hour this afternoon photographing Primula veris, when I arrived home it was raining, so I've been playing on the computer and came up with this......

It's difficult to get a group of P. veris all looking so good and I love the effect you have created.
