Phlox
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 14 August 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Taknn several weeks ago at Maudsdley State Park, far northeast Massachussetts, USA. When the property was privately owned, there were formal gardens, which today, are filled mostly with Phlox and Dahlias.
*****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.

Stunning - the soft colors of the phlox with the muted background colors work perfectly together (and with your perfect composition). A spectacular image....

Beautiful. Love the pink color and the dark background, which pulls more of the pink color out, and the two droplets of water on the one petal. Well done, again!

Anita, this is just pure beauty and so stunning with the black background, the beautiful pink flowers with the touch of water droplets on them. Very well done.
