Trail Flowers
Some pretty flowers on the bike trail I shot the other day.
OK, w00t! (I don't get to say "w00t" very often. It's fun!) In only its first 24 hours on flickr, out of over 1,000 pics I've ever posted in the last year or so, this pic:
1. Made it to Explore! Only my fourth to ever do so!
2. Rose to #1 on my Most Interesting and Most Commented lists.
3. Rose to #1 on my Most Favorited list with 12 faves and counting...shattering my previous all-time record, 5 faves for Glass on Glass.
4. Rose to #28 and climbing on my Most Viewed list.
5. Has received more awards and invites to prestigious "award-only" groups than probably all my other pics combined.
WOW, guys, thank you all very much! If I had known that some weeds growing on the bike trail I walk on every weekend would've gotten me this much attention, I would've taken this pic months ago! Now I have to figure out how I got this cool coloring effect with my camera.
Update: 5-29-09, reached the lofty goal of #2 Most Viewed, with 868 vs 864 for So, What Color is You Bank? And I think the color effect was achieved on the D40 with the Tungsten white-balance setting.
And 20 October 2009, it became my second pic ever to hit 2,000 views!
