Anemone with Two Textures

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 2 October 2009 in Plant & Nature.

I used textures found on Textures for Layers: Canvas Wall Texture (one of my favorites) by Ervin Bartis and Stone Rainbowz by pareeerica.

*****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.

Now it's time to make "WOW", at least for me :) This is really perfect, Anita. The composition, lightning, sharpness, DOF, the immaculate whiteness of the flower punched with the colourful background, this all makes me leaning backward in my chair and just enjoying the beauty of this art. SUPERB!!!

Visiting here is like turning pages in a some long-lost book . . each page preserving a little flower moment.

Bravo! The pairing of the subtle magenta in the wonderful background texture and the magenta of the underside of the petals is brilliant.
