Fantastic colour in this one GJC....considering how low the light levels were it's amazing how transluscent and vibrant the greens are!

@Ian Bramham: Thanks for the visit and the comment. It's the genius of the Nikon d300 that you can so subtly adjust the WB, and I find it especially good at picking up green. I'm in love!

Gosh this is gorgeous, that emerald green is so lovely and you can feel it move in the breeze, priceless :)

In this season the new greens are beautiful. I love bamboos. Some patch of yellow color are nice too.

Such a lush green plantation, the bamboo looks very dense. A great fresh image.

Beautiful soft and fine-grained green! I like also the transition from light to dark, it's almost like a green sky.

The colors are so pretty! Are they being blown by the wind?

A bamboo grove never fails to fascinate! And the wind in the branches makes for such a ballet! I can almost hear the music!

Wow! I didn't get to see the bamboo in spring, it's gorgeous. In the summer, it's not nearly as nice.
