*****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.

Beautiful, Anita ... almost abstract in its composition with the repeating colors/textures/patterns ... very nice!

Gives the impression that the landscape of the flower stretches on forever. It nicely beckons us into another world.

Superb. You've taken not just the flowers, but something more than that, you've seen the pattern and the color. Your flower shots are getting more and more interesting because you are moving beyond a straight-forward look at the flower into thinking about color in very interesting ways.

@GJC: Thank you so much for reflecting on my photography in general. If I am growing and improving as a photographer, I'm happy. :-)
