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.

Lovely framing and soft focus Anita. I'm going to keep my eyes out for these flowers and perhaps try a few shots. Then, I will again realize your ability for such beautiful flower compositions.

Beautiful shot. I don't know this flower. Glad to learn of it.

I especially like the DOF which makes it seem as if they are rising towards us like bubbles or fireworks. And the white is very well done, too.

I know how tiny these little treasures are -- therefore, adding to the challenge of making such a lovely image. Impressive detail in the whites!

Such purity in the flowers and the light . .
