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.

Acostumbrado a tus coloridos y sin quitarle ningún merito, esta me ha dejado un poco frio...
Un cordial saludo.

This reminds me of an old-time image. Love the soft colors..the processing..and how the mums fill the frame.

Very effective use of the interesting filter effect. This would be a great note card. I love how the blossoms fill the frame in such an interesting manner. And, I love the lone turned over petal!

Lovely processing, Anita ... has a wonderful graphic appeal to it ... I could easily see this on the front of a Hallmark greeting card ...

Effect very successfully applied . . I'll admit I'm not over-fond of some of these effects but this one works very well here.
