Daffodil 2
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 22 April 2008 in Plant & Nature.
Not the best photo, but, I wanted to share this lovely daffodil, so different from the one posted yesterday. I'm enjoying a long season of daffodils as I planted early, middle and late blooming flowers. :-)

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.

@Betty: Thanks, Betty! I hadn't either until I ordered it and it came up this spring! What a fun surprise.

Wonderful texture on the flower that you have captured. I don't think the composition is as strong as you other images, but you have captured some wonderful details.

Interesting the way the base petals slope back. The whole made me think of the bustle on a fashionable 19th century dress (how did they sit down?). Wonder if the bees specially enjoy this one? Do flowers from bulbs need bees to multiply? Oops -- getting off topic here. I enjoy the way interesting photos get my brain going.
