Flowers. Everyone is doing them.

Does this sound familar?
You spend countless hours of searching for new places to shoot, tons of expensive fossil fuels to find them. You take photo after photo, retouching and cropping. Experimenting and learning. You buy expensive cameras and test lens after lens. You then only put up the good ones. The ones worth pushing get into Flickr groups and maybe, if you're lucky someone notices.

Or:
You take a small point and shoot, grab a close up of a flower, and "Zing...!" you're being invited to groups left and right, favorited, blogged about and might even end up on a kitchen wall some where in Sheboigan.
Go figure.
