*****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.

Alien? Certainly looks like one, although a beautiful one! Great shot!

@Koushiro~光子郎: Well....alien isn't the best word for describing what I mean. I think I will change it to "non-native." Thanks for your comment. :-)

I'm enjoying the play of diagonals -- a composition that speaks to my heart. Lovely.
