Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 29 March 2009 in Plant & Nature.
Taken outside in my garden. The Crocus are gorgeous this spring!
*****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.

Terrific Anita, great DOF (as usual) and lovely blur surrounding the petals. Utterly poetic.

Like three kings (or queens) with their golden crowns, standing tall waiting for the viewers, full of awe, to kneel before them :)
Amazing colors and result!

Just gorgeous Anita. There is such an interesting dynamic that takes place in quantities of three. The out of place petal in the foreground really makes this shot for me.

Taken outside, so much more challenging than the previous shots taken indoors. The treatment of the background creates a wonderful setting for these three blossoms. The stripes take my breath away. Your photos show me a side of flowers I'd otherwise never see. Thank you.
