I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Really nice! The colours are so rich too! Did you know the national flower of Malaysia is the hibiscus?

Very lovely shot. Like how you composed a single flower and the lighting is perfect. Truly beautiful.

The stamen is almost as beautiful as the flower. It definitely is trying to make a statement by standing tall.
