Courtesy of the Holga lens on the D7000.

I have received a few comments on the Holga image of cactus flowers I posted 
earlier, so thought I'd see if anyone thinks there are more to their liking. 
 I may just have to chuck that lens from the negative comments thus far.   
In some ways, it is kind of fun, after pursuing Leica sharpness for all 
these years.

Here is the folder with all the posted photos.

All these were taken along the trail to Vernal Falls Bridge in Yosesmite.  I 
deliberately left my 35-70 off the camera since I have shot these roots many 
times in the past and have lots of razor sharp images.   I wanted to see if 
the Holga would give me anything different (Duh) and possibly visually 
pleasing (jury out)  

These are my favorites:

Comments welcome.  Maybe someone likes one or more of them.  Maybe I should 
try B&W?  Or maybe I should just use the 35-70.
