*****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.

Very beautiful, Anita. I still like the last one though. The lack of any detail in the background makes it stand out more.

The color in this series is glorious . . I think I prefer this one to the previous because there is more 'space'.

Beautiful bokeh created by your DOF -- I love it when that happens.

I had to click back and refer to yesterday's image. Both are so nice, but also give me a different reaction or feel. Today's salvia appears, at least to me, a more artistic interpretation. And, I like that aspect!

I prefer the previous photo, with a stronger presence of the flower.

Por la desaturación del fondo, me gusta más que la de ayer.

You have done very well with the selective focus. I like your camera placement to capture several background stems that emphasize the one stem that is in focus. Nice vertical composition!

A beautiful flower to photograph. I like the combination of well saturated colors. Nice job of shooting.
