About With a wry sense of humor I have called this "A Gesture For Robin"! :)

A Purple Coneflower lit with the setting sun and a gold reflector . . . and a wole new meaning for the term "Gesture"! Hehehehee . . . MY flower is well behaved! The focus here is the actual connection of the petals . . . all appropriately placed I might add . . . and the wonderful sense of humor Robin has . . . as well as her appreciation of my GENIUS status (Ok, my words, not hers . . . but SHE knows . . . hehehehee).

Paper thin DOF . . . 68mm Extension tubes and 105mm Micro Lens . . . The yellow is Pollen (Bee Bait) . . .

This one's for you Robin! Thanks for the fun and sense of humor . . . One needs it to deal with me!!

Wonderful, Doyle. Perfect DOF. The yellow of the pollen is nicely set off by the pinks and reds of the rest of the flower. Well exposed.

Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 9/28/2006

Ash     {K:9400} 9/28/2006
Lighting, colours, details... are all spot on. I really like this composition and crop/framing. I can't help but wonder what it would look like to try a wider angle with a panoramic crop, but definately not to replace this. Very well done.


Susan Hernandez   {K:6403} 9/28/2006
WOW, Doyle this shot is very beautiful, it's perfect, the clarity, detail, composition, and exposure is perfect, OUTSTANDING work! :)


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 9/28/2006
Ashley!!! What a genius mind you must have (because we think alike) LoL!! I HAVE a different shot with a parallel composition of this floral border area in Panoramic format already made!! It will be posted in four or five hours (I'm at my limit for uploads until then)!

Thank you so much for the comments. By the way . . . It will go up with a much different shot of the same flower using a white reflector and a diffuser which made for some very different effects. This flower is a lot of fun!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 9/28/2006
Well THANKS Susan! I'm so happy with the great response this shot has received. Your comments are very kind and certainly appreciated!!

I thought you were pulling my leg...no easy feat from 2000 miles away! Too cool...a real dedication from my favorite genius!

Holy Macro, (not to be confused with Holy Mackerel) waaaay up close and personal...she IS a well behaved little lady! I do love the fact that you were "thinking outside the box" on this one Doyle! Extraordinary detail and beautiful color my friend...a great piece of work!

No need to thank me...I enjoy every minute of "dealing" with you! :) But many thanks to you for the dedication...made my day!

Take care...Robin

ps...dedications automatically get you a 7!

Well done macro, Doyle!:)

An awesome macro my friend with beautiful colours and superb details and I'm pleased to see that Robin enjoyed her dedication. I particularly love the disturbed dots of pollen all down to a bunch of rampaging bees no doubt. Well done to you Doyle a cracking floral study and I know just how much time and patience is needed to produce one good shot. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray:)


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 9/29/2006
I just love the strength of all these and yet so close and delicate. That is the beauty you show.


Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16448} 9/29/2006

Thanks very much Dear Mary!! Even the petals feel tough at this magnification . . . though we know they're delicate!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 10/2/2006
Glad you liked it Robin . . . And I just LOVE the dedications = 7 philosophy. It works on soooo many levels and, therefore, I'm adopting it too.
