Then what percentage of eye owning creatures see in colors? I have no idea. Eyes often come to rest on flowers a lot. Pretty colors of flowers were of evolutionary advantage too? Highly doubtful. Uglier the flowers, the more left alone they would be, therefore improved survival. No?? Maybe Darwin was full of shit. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Pentax K-7</div><div>D FA 100/2.8 macro WR</div><div>1/100 @ f/3.5</div><div>0 ev</div><div>ISO 800</div><div>RAW</div>I hate photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04297019548970874287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331608375306087266.post-20504706173475700622010-12-10T13:11:00.001-08:002010-12-10T13:12:12.186-08:00Just to follow up on my threat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitVJb3Ope5FYpAPBfWMLUyGudbupV1B1MrhaMdy4JLlpGznhxd4XR-OaQbnPglw6Y1isSx_glAHbZwrq9mIiyLtKz0ny2nVfchP_9a2BKh-4NmZPj-YUBULzTJPsQNNUVNyA_B-YbZaOOG/s1600/IMGP2040_HDR.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitVJb3Ope5FYpAPBfWMLUyGudbupV1B1MrhaMdy4JLlpGznhxd4XR-OaQbnPglw6Y1isSx_glAHbZwrq9mIiyLtKz0ny2nVfchP_9a2BKh-4NmZPj-YUBULzTJPsQNNUVNyA_B-YbZaOOG/s400/IMGP2040_HDR.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549164334401214706" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>See, I am not bluffing. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Pentax K-7</div><div><br /></div>I hate photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04297019548970874287noreply@blogger.com0
