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.

It's so soft in texture and color it almost looks alien.. great professional job imo.

So delicate, the colour is incredibly pretty, a beautiful use of DOF and lovely composition. Fantastic Anita.
