*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

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.

Very beautiful - the delicate patterns in the flower and the use of depth of field make this a wonderful image. You do very nice macro flower work Anita.

Trick of the eye, I guess, but I'd swear I saw it moving.
