[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Still on the road but I found a recent image of one of my wife's summer blooming flowers to post. This was an experiment with a new set of close up lens. I used the number three on my 50mm lens. Also used the mirror up setting for the first time on my tripod mounded D300. I'm pleased with the sharpness of the combination.

One of your best ever Daniel! What brilliant backlighting here! Nice framing, a real eye-popper in the thumbnails, you get an award for this one!

Interesting point of view Daniel. I like the way you have used the light to make the eye try to migrate towards the light. I think that this has great colour composition, and is nicely enhanced by your choice of framing.
Cheers,
Dianne

Hi Dan; nice side view of the Dahlia. I like the light on the petals, and the vivid colors against the dark background.

Hi Daniel,
I like the POV here, normally the picture is taken from the front of the flower, you did it from the back which makes it special. Excellent light and colours and a nice idea too!

Terrific POV and composition, with good use of the light to accent the flower petals against the dark background. Your technical skills are evident, but beyond that you have created a portrait of a flower that tunes into and honors its natural beauty and elegance. Exquisite!
