Here is another picture from our day at the Arboretum. I found the flowers and leaves on this bush of St. John's Wort beautiful.

Canon Rebel T1i. 90mm macro lens. F/9 for 1/30 sec. ISO 200. Tripod mounted, on-camera flash.

Gorgeous, Carolyn. I liked SJW 1, but greatly prefer this one. :toast:

Carolyn:
This one is gorgeous and oh so radiant. Only suggestion here is perhaps dim the leaf vein going from the top petal to the top edge.

I like the strong colors in this image. The light is light very nicely and really accentuates the flower.

A very, very interesting bloom Carolyn. Nice composition to show off the details.

Both very effective treatments of this plant. I particularly like the "spot" lighting and your attention to detail.

Carolyn - Nice magnification and details in this one. Composition-wise I prefer the previous rendition better.
