*****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.

Mesmerizing. Super shot.

So fortunate to have that flower in your garden...Using a yellow background and letting the light show through the membrane of the leaves is stunniing.

You have some beautiful flowers in your garden and are capturing them beautifully. You're really getting the hang of the new camera. Very nice detail and very nice depth. Well done, Anita.

I don't think I've ever examined a Columbine in this manner -- getting up that close and from this perspective. This is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every manner. Congratulations.

A wonderful macro shot of this gorgeous flower. The way the petals are transparent gives it such a look of delicacy!! And how lucky you are to have a garden where you see such beauty!!!
