Another view.
Gardening is taking some of my photography time, hence, I'm not posting every day.
*****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.

I don't know what else to say. May be I like it. It's simple and true.

That is no excuse, we expect images everyday! Especailly when they are dramatic as this one. Again, well done!

Stunning simplicity.
How'd you do the black background?

@Marcie: Thank you. It is either black felt of black paper, I can't remember. I learned that the felt creates a darker background.
