One of the few photos that I did not get to post earlier.

A pure white Hibiscus Flower shot on a Sunny day with Diffuser from the top-back and silver reflector from the front.

Nikon D200, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/22, 1/20 Sec, ISO200, Tripod, Plamp etc.

Let me know what you think of this one.

Ram: Great to have you posting in the winter. I thought you might be hibernating up in that cold country

Classic hibiscus comp and superb whites. 2 thumbs up and Happy New Year to you. >=))>

Ram, nice to see you back posting. Perfect comp and exposure with superb front to back detail. Nice job with the diffuser.

While I don't want to deprive the flora gallery, I sure hope you do post some of your fine close-ups like this one over in the Macro gallery. I am sure you have enough to share.

A very fine graphics image masquerading as a floral photograph. Way to come back.

Sweet, Ram. I love the softly muted yellow against the beautiful unblemished white petals of the flower.

Ram, the dof is terrific. I love all the details in the pistils and stamen.
