    Super set and agree that 2nd last is great!
    For last one, perhaps Square crop.....the green band on left if it could be replaced with blue bokeh like rest of the image, that would be best, otherwise I think square crop.....
    Cheers Brian!

    Brian,

    An excellent set. I like the way they seem matched to the curve of the flowers.

    Knock-out close-ups!

    There is very little to see in the heat of the day here. All the more surprising that I have seen bats hunting after dark this week after more than a year of having seen none.
