Great colors and perfect composition. You really get your money's worth out of the price of admission to Longwood, don't you? How many pictures do you take in one day there (I got to Winterthur yesterday and took about 150 shots)?

@Chris: I took 200 photos in 3 hours last week at Longwood. I didn't realize it was so many until I checked to answer your question. I take several shots of the same composition at different f stopsfrom 3.2 to 22 as a way to learn what works best, and also, to get one good shot. I'm teaching myself macro.
I look forward to seeing some of the photos you took at Winterthur. Spring is a fabulous time to visit there.
another nice image!

Superb composition and very impressive use of background color to highlight the aloe. I really like this.

@Mike: Thanks. When I click on your name, I'm not taken to your blog. Why is that?
Great colors...

A beautiful image, Anita. The DOF is perfect ... soft and creamy! I spent the afternoon at the Missouri Botanical Garden yesterday. Shot 500 pics in about 2.5 hours. When shooting outdoors you have to shoot a lot to get the real winners ... and this shot of yours is a gold medalist!

@Ron: Thanks. I look forward to seeing some of those 500 photos!
Marvelous rich treatment, Anita.
