Friday's Fotos...
Sometimes, the photography gods smile and I get lucky. IMHO, photography boils down to:
10% skill. i.e. knowing which end of the camera points in which direction.
05% subject matter. I, like many of you, have been to places and events we all want to capture. "Click".
15% inspiration. There are times, when inspired, I go to a spacial, timeless place in my mind. Driven by passion and inspiration, I feebly attempt to capture the essence.

The rest is pure unadulterated luck!!! Being at the right place at the right time under the right conditions. There are times when the god's smile on this poor fool and create the perfect setting. Right place, soft pure light, glass end of the camera is pointed in the right direction, nice subject matter... "Click"...

What a great photo and I can't figure out why you have such great flowers when we just had snow this week in Chicago?

Michael - That blossom looks so real you can almost reach in there and touch it.  I continue to be amazed at the quality digital cameras produce, compared to the cameras of the past.

I'd say this subject matter deserves at least 15%. The color and details are amazing.
