THANK YOU FOR THE POSITIVE RESPONSE TO MY LAST IMAGE :-)
My current photographic task is to create and use my own textures. Here is one of them
*****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.

Anita this is simple and stunning, love the composition and your decision to find a complimentary background colour.

You've succeeded in creating a perfect background texture for this lovely image. Love the soft and subtle color variations in the background texture.

A fine job of shooting this beautiful blossom. I like the placement of the bloom in the frame. Shooting and processing have produced a fine image.

WOW. Love the out of the box composition of placing the flower hard against the top edge of the frame. Lighting, focus, and background are spot on as usual.

Yippee! Wonderful texture.
And I love this little girl flirting with her skirt turned back just a tidge.
Composition is very interesting and the pink and gold is smashing !

Anita, I really like the pink on pink and the positioning of the flower grew on me rapidly. BUt, to be honest, I'm not real keen on the extra long stem in this image. It makes the flowers look gangly to me. I could almost see this as a horizontal comp. Just my two cents.

I like how you have been creative with this. Lovely colors but I think it would have been a bit better with a not so long stem. But that's IMHO.

Daring to be different pays off in moments like this . . love to see conventions overturned.
