I unfortunately did not get the book, after seeing these slides I am really regretting it. I think the reason that many people thought that the pictures had been digitally manipulated is that the photographers did such an outstanding job, as well as using outstanding individual examples of the various species. The blue shades , especially, are dependant on lighting, and the photographers obviously did a knock out job showing the colors that are there. Thanks again to all involved in getting these slides on the Web, and clearing up the questions about authenticity that arose after the book came out. Jeff
