Hello !

Spring is in full swing here at last. Today we had a gorgeous 20 degrees Celcius. Nature is blooming everywhere. Here is another shot taken yesterday, as I had a walk in the old part of the City of Trois-Rivières. A simple tulip for flower lovers .

I am not too confident in shooting these ''things'' when wind is blowing . They are not really static, I discovered (^_^). So comments and critiques are welcomed.

Technically . I cropped it a bit , and increased the greys by 50% to have a more dramatic light and focus in the heart of the flower. Used the Super macro mode for narrower Depth of field.

Cheers!
Robert

Hello Robert,
Beautiful macro - the individual pollen grains are easily distinguishable. DOF is perfect with most of the blossom interior som in sharp focus and softening almost immediately outside it.

Greg

You sure are able to do a lot with that camera.
Great job. I like that the dust is in focus the best. The main flower to the side and opening to the left is perfect. Well seen. Thanks for capturing. Karin

Bonjour Robert
Très belle capture et très nette en plus. Je crois que la fleur a bien coopéré et est retée sans bouger si j'en juge par la qualité des détails. Les couleurs sont riches et brillantes.Une photo plein cadre tout à fait éblouissante.
Bravo
Serge

Good closeup with vibrant natural colour. Good framing.
This past week, I was also motivated to take macro shots of tulips. Check them out.

Bonjour Robert,
Ouf, full détails, n'est-ce pas ? Ce pollen dont on pourrait compter les grains est impressionnant, tout comme les couleurs. La profondeur de champs crée une profondeur remarquable. Une très belle réussite qui mérite plus que 2 points, mais ...

Hi Robert,

Yep, same here. Wonderful weather lately. It was about time!!
Haha, yes they move quite a bit if you're unlucky. But you got it quite sharp and the post processing done is very good!
Hope you don't have hay fever ;-).
