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.

Love the languid simplicity of this. You've framed it very well and found the perfect exposure.

@GJC: Thank you. I was actually aware of framing the flower as I took the photo, which is not always the case.

Another great macro shot Anita! Love your composition and DoF on this - it is so different from your "run of the mill" daffodil shots (like the ones I have taken!!). Well done.
