About Our Christmas Cactus is in full bloom again (March). I tried my new macro lens once more to see if I could capture of beauty of the bloom. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.
I couldn't think of a better title. If you have a suggestion, I'd like to hear it.

Superb macro Mary to go along with your "New Year" macro. Stunning colors and excellant detail. Best regards--Bill Voizin P.S.Thank you for taking the time to comment on my latest. Your comments really lift me up!


Dr. Rafael Springmann   {K:86761} 4/2/2006
Your new lens is definitely worth the investment you put in purchasing it, dear Mary, but no lens is better than the photographer behind it & in this & your other photos you definitely don't lag behind the lens. I love the colors, the composdition, the black baground & fitting frame you framed the photo in. I considered trading in my new Fuji Finepix S9000, which proved to be a disappointment for a new Samsung 815, with a lens also by Schneider Kreuzach, with a x15 optical zoom, but the internet commentators advised to wait for its next version, so I settled for the Panasonic Lumix FZ 30, which has an antishake mechanism & it's so for the best digital camera I've owned. Fortunately for me my photo-dealer knows me & my "craziness" & I came off cheap...
Thank you for commenting on so many of my photos I can't even count them, while posting only one of yours since I last commented.
As to my "Kissing cousins", it was done on the new camera with the zoom extended to x12 (at least, as the manual sais it can reach x18) & 1/5 of a second. The antishake seems to have worked well. I also obseved the courting & coupling ceremony, in my case of wild doves & took some photos, but they were not good enough to be posted.
Best regards,
Rafi

Mary - Your new lens (and the photographer!) is working VERY well. You have managed to capture the beauty of this bloom. Do like the composition - colors are super, and the dark background really makes this shot "come alive". Jan


jacques brisebois   {K:59632} 4/3/2006
great isolation of the plant, very nice colors and contrast, great composition too. The only thing... maybe... the white part seems to be a little bit overexposed. But it's really nice like that too.


Gilberto Santa Rosa   {K:11147} 4/3/2006
Wonderful macro and colors.
Thank you for viewing and comment so many of my photos. Your opinion about my macros is a very valuable one...
Don't leave us so much time again...

Hi Mary! Thanks for all your comments; highly appreciated! How beautiful this bloom is, and I think you present it in an elegant way here. Good work!


Steve Aronoff   {K:21579} 5/3/2006
I guess I just don't treat my Christmas Cactus right. (I just picked up three dead branchlets this morning.) I love the rich, vibrant colors in this strong composition, Mary.
Well done!!
Steve


Mary Brown   {K:68617} 5/4/2006
Hi Steve. I can take no credit for the thriving jungle in our home. My husband seems to have a talent for making plants perforn well. Friends sometimes leave their plants here for some TLC.

Very nice use of macro, Mary. Choice of black background always helps to bring out the vividness in colors.. very well thought and composed.

cheers!

Audrey Reid   {K:5872} 6/8/2006
Here's joining a long line of people to say what a lovely image you have captured. The shades of shocking pink pops againsts the well chosen black background, the touch of yellow tip and the dark green focus the eyes on this unusual flower - beautiful.
I wonder if the strong pink frame line takes the eye away from this otherwise strong but simple composition - if a frame line is needed perhaps a dark green may work well?


Mary Brown   {K:68617} 6/9/2006
Hi Audrey. Thanks for you engouraging comment and your frame suggestion. It is always great to have others' opinions on what I have done. It gives me things to consider another time.
Mary
