Title: Having Lunch
Maker: Irma Wootton
I apologize for the scan on this slide—the actual slide is more striking. A good composition, with the vegetation, particularly the changing foliage in the background, adding much to its attractiveness

Title: Splash of Color
Maker: Jean Barber
Brilliant color and sharpness. It’s always difficult when photographing masses of objects to cut off the composition at the right points, but nicely done here

Title: Summer Delight
Maker: Bill Barber
A classic subject we have all struggled with. Fine color saturation. The maker used the colorful background as a frame for the butterfly and flower, but maintained good separation of subject from background

Title: Feeding Time

Since the maker is commentating, no self-praise. The image is from Galapagos, with its remarkably unafraid and approachable wildlife

Title: Elizabeth's Rose
Maker: Don Kenney
I apologize to the maker for the scan. The image is striking as it exists here, but in the original, there is a subtle background of dark leaves that effectively is separated from the blossom, but could not be captured in the scan. Success in flower photography requires finding a perfect bloom (done) and then composing and exposing perfectly (done). The color saturation is outstanding.
