Magnolia Abstract
Just another shot I took a little time with this afternoon. I have a B&W counterpart, but in this one I think I like the color version better.

Ned,

Your macro lens really gets the detail of these flower shots - I like this overall. I would like to see the B&W too.

Ned, you're killing me. Can you do me a favor and post a so-so image? Seriously, you're on a roll.

This one really captures my interest Ned... The other one just didn't grab me like this does. :toast:

I agree Ned, let's see some sucky images from you and right away please! :mad:
My only nit would be to be able to see all of that center thingy...stamen? it sorta looks like a pinaple

Nice one Ned. BTW, I know where you can get some sucky images. Just ask the fellow above me. :biggrin:

Thanks for the comments.. you want sucky, I should shoot it again tomorrow. Within a day or so the petals turned a nice brown hue, and the center curlies turned dark and fell into a big clump within the flower. It still has a nice fragrance, though.. I tried to get more of the pineapple, but the thing just wouldn't bloom any wider - and forcing them open cracked them. The tree blooms are opening even more, so when one is in reach, I will be shooting it on the branch..

This is awesome, Ned. What focal length macro are you using?

I'm using a Canon 100 2.8
