Artichoke Posted March 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2008 well presented and photographed my favorite of your offerings is the tight in first photograph the extraordinary colors and shapes are very seductive, befitting their role these are all quite good, but the first is exquisite, with its relatively narrow DOF emphasizing the working bits I enjoyed visiting your Los Liones gallery on SmugMug ...you have many lovely offerings in this gallery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoArchival Posted March 20, 2008 Share #9 Posted March 20, 2008 I really like #'s 1 and 3! Great shots! Amado Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted March 21, 2008 Henri, Gunnar, Arthur, and Amado, Thank you for your comments. Henri, the flower is about 5cm in diameter at the widest point and about 5cm deep. For picture #1, the tip of the lens was practically touching the tip of the petals. Unfortunately this made getting any direct sunlight into the flower impossible. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
