Terrific colors and DOF, Will. I'm jealous! The heat has kept my camera in storage for the most part lately...

Will,

If you are asking for CC on your photos then please limit your post to the 3 best images of your set. I am changing your thread from CC to NC until you've narrowed down your images.

Rule #3. Photo Quantity Limitations
Do not post more than 3 photos in a thread for critique. Choose your absolute best 3 shots of the series and post those. Posting more than 3 shots per thread will only hurt your chances of getting an honest critique since critiques do take time.
