Cyclamen Abstract
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 10 December 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.
I'm using a temporary monitor that allows me to do photos.
Taken indoors, window light, tripod, macro lens.
*****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.

that red softness is stunning, and I love the movement in that curling petal edge.....

This close up has such an artistic curve which along with the vivid color makes a very attractive abstraction of the flower. Beautiful shot.

So glad you've figured out a way to continue posting your wonderful images. And, this image is possibly one of my absolute favorites of yours. But then I am a fan of abstract! :)

I think your monitor died of overjoy at all the wonders it sees.

Superb, soft, elegant. I don't have a macro lens just yet but this is exactly why I want one.
