*****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.

Good composition, as usual, but the image is not at the same level as some previous ones.

@António Pires: I agree. But, there is something I like about it.

It's all about the soft, muted colors in this one ... you've really captured a beautiful sense of depth, Anita, with a soft painterly feel ...

Love the warm tones of these leaves against that background green . . somehow, it feels very still and quiet.

Lovely, lovely. You always do these so well. They would make a fine calendar through the year.

There is something very photogenic about freshly opening leaves - you have captured these perfectly

@Scotfot: Thank you! Yes. I couldn't resist taking this photo. I took several, and this was the best.
