Included both the color and black and white version.

Tell me what you think. Do you like the black and white or color one better?

My first attempt at flower shots with my new digital. It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5S.

I'm still tinkering with it and reading about it. I'm loving it though.

Sunflowers in the yard, 5 minutes ago.

More yard pics. Today I cleaned out our fountain and filled it. One of our flowers was also blooming so I grabbed a few pics of it.

My dad used to do lawn care/landscaping. One of the jobs he did was for a huge house in West Austin in the hills. Part of the payment and agreement was that he take this fountain, and the deer statue, as well as some large planters. My dad, having a green thumb and love for landscaping happily took it. The bottom bowl on this thing ways around 500+ pounds. With the base it's over 7 feet tall. We just have it sitting in the ground. The birds and the bees like it. So do I. My bedroom window is about 15 feet away and in the early spring and fall I can hear it.

These are Amarillas. They bloom for much of the spring and summer. These smell so good and strong. Kind of like honey suckle. These are pink, but we also have some white ones.

A new flower is about to open.

So what do ya think? Good, bad? Any suggestions?

I definately like the color one best. The colors in the photo are beautiful, and it's a pity to take them away.

Well, honestly, I'm not a fan of any digital b/w pics... There's something anachronistic about them. I mean, you can see it's a digital photo - then why isn't it in color?

@Kev - that's one impressive fountain. The deer statue, not so much. As for the photos, great shots of the flowers, looks like they were taken on a cool day, and the lighting and colors in the fountain shots just say to me "reality".

Ditto, and the feel of those colors...

To me the color version is less "clinical" than the b/w one.

Yeah that deer needs a paint job. I don't think it's been painted since we aquired it about 12 years ago. And yeah, I'm still fiddling with the settings. I'm enjoying it though, I suppose that's what matters. Thanks Swede.
