Larry, I really like these, especially 3455--nice juxtaposition of hard and soft, grey steel and colorful flowers; and nice use of DOF.
Have I ever mentioned that I hate Flickr? The stupid two-photo-at-a-time thumbnails, the need to click to see a decently large image (sometimes not available), the whole space-wasting layout--it makes looking at photos like walking with a pebble in my shoe. Nice photos, though!
