A new flower to me. Taken on Monday at Longwood Gardens' Idea Garden, on a calm overcast morning. Natural light and tripod.
*****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.

I really enjoy the diagonal and the movement of the background. So nicely composed! And that green just knocks me out!!

I agree with Dulcie. The composition is so gentle and revealing of the flower. And how about that green!

@GJC: Thanks! You know that the D300 is great with greens.

Beautiful composition, Anita. I love how the bokeh gives the sense of movement.

The background almost looks like a watercolor! Love the movement in this piece.

I like the innocent simplicity of your shots like this . . the flower is always the star.
