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.

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

Another winner. The clarity and the vibrancy are outstanding. The way you've positioned these two flowers in the frame is also very effective. You're obviously having fun taking these flowers; it shows in what you've been posting. Keep up the wonderful work.
