*****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 nice, Anita. I love the colors in the flower. Perfect. The background is nice. I can't say I "love" it but it works here. This is a real "nit" (hopefully no BPN police hanging around!). I know the petals open to the right but it seems to be leaning left. Because of that lean, I keep feeling it should be moved to the right.
