*****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.

Gorgeous. I am amazed that you can shoot the Dahlia that close and still have absolute clarity. Bravo!

Fine job of shooting.

Interesting colours. The centre reminds me some kind of machine with "claws" such as a hoisting machine for coal.

Excellent detail. Very sharp. Love the square comp. The center placement works well here. Nicely done.

WOW! Reminds me of a mandala. Love the perfect symmetry and how the petals fill the frame.

I've been out of the loop for a couple of weeks and it is so wonderful to come back and be greeted by such beautiful flower images. Really lovely!

Some beautifully powerful forces at work here . . there is a dynamic feeling about this which goes beyond the flower and touches upon Nature herself.
