Fresh Limes
Posted by Susan (Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States) on 19 June 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Only in South Florida, do you go to a friend's house to hang at the pool, and find the perfect compliment to a cocktail, hanging on a tree, just waiting to be picked!!

Marvelous selective focus and detail. I miss Florida limes.

@john4jack: Jack.... as I told tony, I was trying to do 3 exposures for hdr.... but hand held, and I was just too shaky..... so this is one of the exposures, and I tweaked it a little..... but it must have been the open aperture shot..... cause the background came out as is......
and for Florida limes.... I'd be happy to send you any I come across, since I don't even like 'em!!!! I'm strictly a lemon type girl!!!

Nice shot, #1! And a nice study in focal point without Focal Point, I'm guessing. Listen... I Googled Lime Girl vs Lemmon Girl and got absolutely nowhere. Care to help us out re their respective characteristics?

@Tony Duque: You guessed right!!! Just open aperture....actually, I was shooting for hdr, with 3 exposures, but because it was hand held, too much shake in my hands that day...that's when I was still taking Lyrica, and all the other drugs, so not much alcohol for me at the party..... so I just worked with one of the exposures.......and it worked out well !!! The difference between Lime Girl and Lemon Girl is just me, being picky!!! I don't really like the flavor of limes.....whenever I get a cocktail that comes with a lime, I either get nothing, or ask for lemon instead!!!! Just a picky girl, that's all........ Hallelujah for Fridays!!!! I could really get used to staying home all the time!!!
Have a nice weekend!!!!
@Graham Russon: Thanks Graham

Yes...gin and tonic or a Caipirinha...great tele shot Susan...reminds me of summer cocktails...

@dkc: What's a Caipirinha? Everyone's talking about drinks that I don't know!!! I like those Mojita's !!
@Jen: What's a Mexican???? All I know, and like, with limes, are Mojita's !!!
@jamesy: Thanks Deb!
Jen from St. George, United States
Mexican... as in food!!! Thanks for the laugh though! There's a good dose of lime in all the good stuff - guacamole, pico de gallo, carne asada... Your limes are making me hungry! :)

@Jen: ah yeah.......i guess i must have read it wrong....i thought you said you wanted A Mexican......maybe i didn't get it, since i'm not really a fan of limes!!!
