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.

Ah, this reminds me of an oil-pastel. Wonderful effect; the texture certainly works!

To me, this is spectacular! Frame it and hang it in you next showing.

Wow, I just came back to see you and I'm treated to such a beautiful flower! Well done, as always! And I'm still wondering where you get so many flowers to photograph XD

@Koushiro~光子郎: Thank you for visiting and for your comment! To answer your question about where I get the flowers. I grow flowers and usually identify these as coming from my garden. There is a fantastic botanical garden 30 minutes away from my house. There I find flowers growing all year round, outdoors in spring, summer and fall, and indoors in the conservatory in the winter (as well as the other seasons). I usually lable these as taken at Longwood Gardens. The photo above was taken there. I also take photos of wildfrlower growing in nature preserves, meadows, parks, woods. Thanks for your interest.
