A different flower from the post over in flora. I'd love to hear thoughts on this, or even better, a 'which I like better' comparison with this and the one over in the flora gallery.
Things are really starting up in the southern whites, I think the NENP meeting is in for a REAL treat this year!
Thank in advance for comments!

I think I like this image here just a little bit better (it is very close though). While the one in flora is closer and shows more detail, I like the framing in this one. My normal inclination is to not show as much of the stem as you have but I like these shots and I will have to give this a try. Both have good exposure, and DoF.
I hope you are right about the timing for the NENP weekend. My macro lens is tingling !!
Hey Jim...Nothing wrong with either image. I think I prefer this one because it is a more 'natural' presentation. When observing them in nature you rarely get the straight, head on presentation but more often or not get the nod presented here. But you just have to love the color of these guys.

Both images are lovely but I think I'm leaning a little bit more towards the other composition.
Thanks for sharing.
