This photo was taken on the island of Nassau at the botanical gardens - summer 2005. The photographer in this case is the flamingo trainer at the gardens using my camera.

My vocation currently is ASIC design. I design logic circuits that end up in chips. Graphics of all sorts are a hobby that take me away from the tedium of logic. As of late I have taken a slight detour into photography and astrophotography.

Super DoF, very well done!

Lovely image, esp. seen at full size. Very exotic, very alien.

Don't know the name but it reminds me of a pink comet blazing through the sky. Great shot.

That's a wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis).

I always love columbine shots. This one is really terrific. I love the DOF you got and the tiny little hairs showing in stark contrast to the blurred background. You've made this Colorado boy particularly happy today. :) As it is the state flower of Colorado, you are not allowed to pick the blue ones, which are all over the high country. HOWEVER, the one you have here is pickable and tasty, too. If you have several hundred and want to sacrifice a couple of blooms, you can take the little cornucopia-shaped long petals, bite off the little ball-shaped tips and suck out the nectar. Now you know why bees always have a nice buzz. :) Meanwhile, to the right in your image, you have one that is gone to seed. Those seeds really do germinate, so give it a try. There are probably somewere around 60 to 100 seeds just waiting for you to harvest them. Great shot.
