Daylily Abstract
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 5 July 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.
Taken in my garden on Thursday morning. Experimenting a bit.
*****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.

Anita when i saw this image I thought straightaway about "Macro Art In Nature",
from my point of view is the best comments and compliment I can make, because I really appreciate the work of Michael Brown
So keep going

@Pouhou: I completely agree with you that thinking of Michael Brown's work when seeing my photo is the best compliment I could get! I love Michael's work and have been visiting Macro Art In Nature for some time. Some of my inspiration comes from his photos. Many thanks for visiting and commenting. :-)

This is like walking through a dreamscape ... beautiful, Anita. I've also found inspiration in Michael Brown's work. Hope your having a great weekend!

Really fine work and I like that you continue to experiment. This is really a study in color and a delightful one at that.

Keep experimenting, it looks like I have been a naughty boy and not kept up with your pics, I like this a lot as you can imagine. I have got a few similar to this.
