Another beauty Amy, love the lacy look and how the yellow is spread around.

I really like the color and form here. The DOF is shows the shape at it's best.

I just love that, Amy. Beautiful statement of edge, color and light. How far down was your aperture stopped, and what was your iso?

Thanks, everyone! :wavey:

Steve - I used ISO 100 and my exposure was 10 sec @ f/16. On a tripod, of course! :smile:

That was in the ballpark of what I figured, Amy. Had you been able to do an exposure that long handheld, truly you would be a goddess among photographers. :biggrin:

And that image is one of the best I've seen, not only here but in other places, in quite awhile.

Very delightful abstract shot Amy. I like all the movement created by the petals and the splash of yellow is icing on the cake.
