Happy New Year to everyone.
I was surprised to see how colorful the christmas poinsettia can be. The small ant obligingly pop up to provide a reference to the size.

D90 Nikkor 105mm, ISO200, f/22, 1/3sec, tripod. Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Hi Gary. Nice vivid color and detail. Everything looks pretty sharp as well, not always that easy when shooting this close. F22 and a tripod sure helped out with this one, Great job.

Nice that the ant showed up too, it gives good scale to this excellent macro

Wonderful color and comp, Gary, and a look at the poinsettia that is very refreshing.
