Nasturtium

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 6 August 2008 in Plant & Nature.

Growing in a window box in Maine. I got few good flower photos in Maine because of the breeze on the coast.

*****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.

Amazing view of her hart! Great capture and colors. Even a small breeze can spoil your photos, but you did a great job ;)

It appears to be a very beautiful, elegant and elaborate insect trap. Wonderful colors and detail, Anita. What a find.

Amazing. The petals look like a colourful window, and the detail in the centre is stupendous! A look into the world of the flower indeed!

What an explosion of color in this fine looking close up. I like the detail in the blossom with the streaks radiating outward. Beautiful image.
