Rather than just throw away this blossom- I tried a couple of back lit Macro shots, before it went in the bin :D PP was done in CS 5

Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro lens- shot at 1/25th sec f14- light provided by the lounge window

Like both of these Les, looks like your loving your macro lens, both sharp and fab colour (y) think #2 is my fav, it looks like Im looking through the flower from inside if that makes sense
 
They're both wonderful :D Like the symmetry in the second.
 
Thank for the comments guys and yes Dave I am loving my Macro lens :D

although, Ive just ordered a Sigma 150-500mm, so the 105mm may take a back seat for a while (y)


Les :D
 
I love orchids and you've captured their beauty here Les
 
I love the first one, the second is too blurred along the bottom for my, my eye keeps being drawn to the blur.

Thats said, I couldnt come close!
 
I like these Les the simplicity and angle of the shots.
Sharp and contrasting front to back.
Regards
Paul.
 
Many thanks for your comments guys, appreciated (y)


Les :D

That would be the dof field then, I shot @ f14 not much more I could have done given the physical depth of these flowers :shrug:

Les ;)
 
I like both of those, particularly the first, I bet it looks even better filling the screen (y)
 
Really like these. I do often like shots that are against a white background but these work well IMO.
 
nice les, think you have a bit of a knack for these flower shots
