Lovely macro and colours are really bright enough for sunglasses! :)

Hi Dave,

Wonderful macro with fantastic rich colours!
For a hand held, this is sharp with great details!
Lucky for me, I have a monitor filter and don't need sunglasses... :))
Well done, my friend!

Hi David,
Great macro with stunning colors. Now this flower does not have any more intimacy even with sunglasses! :)
Very nicely done! Annie

Ok...here goes, I've sat here and studied this photo. First the good...vivid colors, great dof, but not quite up to your usual standards. (A bit blurry near the center)If I look at it with one eye closed it has a surreal appeal, lol. I know now I'm going to get a reply to clean my glasses or get new ones... ;-p Thanks for sharing,

Don't you mean: Critiques should always leave people with the feeling that they have been helped. Definitely NOT CRITICISM. Two different meanings!

These nasturtiums always give a good show. Well captured here David, you were certainly up close to it, but it is a tad soft. Stunning colours though. Well done,
Janice

Hello David,
what a wonderful macro. Excellent colors and the crop is great. Sharpness, POV and details are great.

Hi David,

well, first glance at this photo tells the truth - it' a roaring lion... second... well, I don't know - I escaped................. ;-P

Which ZOO did you visit David? Why this camouflage with the flower, huh?! Was forbidden to take lions' photos there?! :-DDD tfs

Marek

P.S. Really nice lion's macro - good colours and sharpness in the center. Would love a bit bigger DOF though.

Gorgeous colours in this one David :-)

Hello David

An explosion of - well reproduced - red and yellow colours. I love the exact focus on the center of the blossom with its fine, intricate details. Good hand-held shot, David! Thank you for sharing. - Cheers, Cordelia :) :)
