*****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.

You manage to instill so much character into these studies and the photography never seen to impose itself upon the subject.

Stunning details Anita. Composition wise I would have left a little more space on top of the flower but its a matter of personal choice. This is nice as well.
