I appreciate the visits and kind comments! I try to visit everyone's blog, though sometimes it takes a while. I am so grateful to am3 and the internet for this type of sharing. :-)
Macro of the flowers from the last post.
*****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.

The color simply jumps out and grabs the viewer; pulling the eye into detail of the yellow center of the flower. The frame work around the piece is nicely done as well.

I adore, which delicacy in your dévelopmment of the photo. Splendid precision of the focus, with DoF perfect, all that made that you bring us directly where you wish it. I feel “bee” when I see this photograph... ;)

Anita, the detail you acieved in the pollen center is incredible. It seems to glow with a metalic sheen. Such an incredible image.

I've been drawn back to this image several times this week: Pixim's got it right -- you've given the viewer the sense of what it would be like to be a bee coming into a pollen treasure trove.
