Thank you, Larry.
And, yes -- that's a hell of a backyard for a photographer to have.

Very nice set.
The flower shots look a bit dark on my monitor, maybe boost the
brightness/gamma on them?
Thanks again! I tried a little tweaking the brightness and bending the
curves a little, but it seemed bleach the color out of the flowers, so I
left them pretty much as-is. I'll most likely return to them after a few
days. I very rarely get things right on my photos when I do the initial
editing. Usually, when I return to them later on, I have a better sense
of what I can do to improve them.
P/S: I demand extra forbearance on "Fractured View" due to the
damn-near
impossibility of getting the damned thing focused.
I think Fractured View is excellent, definitely my favorite of the
lot. (At least at screen size. I didn't go out of my way to find
whatever defects you warned of.)
Fractured is very nice. If it's not completely transient, I'd like to
see one of it where it's not backlit. Maybe one at night where you
hit it from the side with a flash. Though with a big enough flash,
you just need it to not be in direct sunlight.
Thanks once again. It'll be tough to get it without backlighting, as it
looks directly out into the security light at night. It's a set of
faux-French doors leading out, appropriately enough, to the front porch.
I'll have to see if I can devise a way to block out the backlighting, or
find an opportune time of day before the security light kicks on. I
don't have a flash other than the on-camera one, unfortunately.
