*****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.

Have a nice time Anita! This is another amazing picture ... the soft pink and DOF are beautiful and I like the curves.

Nice soft focus there! Question: Whenever you take photos using your macro, do you always use your tripod? I can never seem to get the right angle whenever I'm on tripod though.... Can teach me?
