*****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.

Very nice macro of purple coneflowers. The subdued tones are beautiful.

These always seem like the rascals of the flower family, to me . . love them pushing at the frame like this!

some people will argue up and down this is a cone flower and nothing else. I took some pictures of this flower some time back and my wife was convinced that it was not Echinacea. But I agree with you on this. Nice shot!
