Hydrangea satellite

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted February 26, 2012279 views11 comments

This is a close up of a hydrangea blossom taken last spring. For size reference, the main blossom is probably about the size of a quarter. To me, the flower resembles a satellite dish, hence the title. Nikon D700, 180 macro, ext tube, tripod. Larger image included for better viewing. Comments welcome.
