Good to "see" you here, Grant. That's a very nice image; handled delicately and subtly.
Hi Lorell, and thanks. Who would think of taking a colorful and bright orchid photo and turning it into a medium value mono image? And you did it with great results. The diagonals and the bokeh are superb, and your simulated mat & frame are spot-on.
About my malfunctioning lens: I've been shooting in manual focus. Haven't taken it in to be checked because of several surprise expenses in June, but I hope to do so next month.
Yes, I expect to take many more shots of the sunflowers. 10 of 12 have sprouted and are in various stages of growth. Only the one has flowered, but two more (hopefully of different varieties and colors) should do so by the end of the week.
damar - what a grand, classic building.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
