Super NOVA
During the night I see them closed and sleeping. In the morning, they explode with color and vibrancy, ready to accept the life giving rays of the sun :)

This is especially dedicated to NOVA, who is one of the few who inspires and reminds that I haven't posted since June!

I must be having a great time! :)

Thanks, Michel! :)

Taken early morning outside my new yummy home in Makati, Metro Manila (Population: +11 million), which is like a hanging garden in the middle of a very big concrete jungle.

No cropping or rotating. Just tweaked the lighting and exposure. A bit of vignetting, blurring, and sharpening.

Model: Canon PowerShot A640
Exposure Time: 1/202
F-Stop: f/4.0
Focal Length: 7300/1000 mm

hello Fred

I like your NEF! and as you are a Nikon user, the file format is also NEF.

Well, after a while this A640 is still giving you good shots! I like the sharp focus on the flower here. The light is well managed to give a good effect on the flower while keeping backdrop in shadow. tfs

Great shot, Fred! Nice POV and good focus. O BG desfocado ficou muito bom. Congratulations!

Brazilian greetings,

Hie Fred,

How are you doing there? It's been a while! Wow with just a Canon Powershot, you can take such a sharp macro. The lighting's a lil dim though. Anyway, it's alright.

TFS,
Hong
