Nice, Tim, the depth of field is really good on the flower and the overall exposure is pleasing.

Great shot Tim! Cool subject. I like the wavy krinkle things (petals?) Good color contrast and choice of depth of field as Tom mentioned. I'm trying to learn Macro with my new lens. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, Tim!

Love the compliment of colors, and the DOF is perfect.

Great light, too.

Great shot of a very interesting plant even though it is missing one of its four stigmas.

Thanks for the comments.

Don: Guess this one has just a little less passion than I thought!

Love the color and detail in this, Tim. These flowers are so beautiful, but sometimes hard to photograph well in their environment. Nice work!

Tim what a cool flower and a great shot also. Glad to see you had some time to shoot lately.

You found an amazing flower Tim. Very nice detail and dof on the subject, set against a nice muted background. Stepped out of the B/W world for a moment eh.

Thanks for sharing!
