Shamrock

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted March 23, 2013138 views4 comments

I have found using the Canon MP-E65mm macro lens to be very challenging compared to the Canon 100mm macro, but fun to explore the macro world with. This shamrock bloom was about an inch long. I am not sure if this should be cropped tighter or not. Comments will be appreciated.

Interesting light, well composed, & I like your point of focus at the stamen (anther) John.
Great POV down the center also, well done!

Beautiful, John. Really good use of the light. I like the superb detail in the yellow anthers and the capture of the lines in the petals. Excellent macro work, John.
