*****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.

WOW! I really like the colors here, Anita. And the compositional crop works great for me. The background is just enough oof to work well. But there does appear to be a bit of noise in the background. Still absolutely lovely!

This is just perfect Anita! I love the way you framed it, and the dof is just great. And the colors!! The colors of the flower are so bright and happy, and I love the "smearing" of greens, blues, purples, etc. in the background. So beautiful!

Of course it's an axquisite flower Anita, but your sens of composition and your obvious love of flowers adds poetry and aesthetism as well.
