About Here's one of those dahlias that I am waiting for. Still fooling around er... experimenting with the macro lens. I really like the symmetry of this bud.

Exposure information is correct, again!

Correction: Oops, my wife chided me - that's not a dahlia, it's a zinnia

Fantastic detail and the background is great!

Great composition - what a good angle to use, getting the detail and nice colour tones. It almost looks like a bottle top :)

Wonderful Photograph Jim, Great Colors and Clarity. Very well presented. Looks like little fingers folded together...

Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the wonderful comment on my Photo...

Your friend, Peter Daniel


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 8/31/2005
Beautiful minimal dof Jim, I love the background blur and the diagonals of the leaves...it's a lovely bud, It looks like it's getting ready to open very gracefully....nice muted colors and presentation....:):)


Eric Peterson   {K:4210} 8/31/2005
Nice DOF. Have you thought about trying it as a B&W image to emphasize even more the graphic elements of the bud?
Eric


Salvatore Rossignolo   {K:13547} 9/11/2005
Holy detail! This is so sharp I was actually able to light a match on it! lol Brilliant work man.

piacevole macro , belli i toni tenui , ottimo il dettaglio


Gregory McLemore   {K:25430} 9/18/2005
Outstanding


Del Metheny   {K:25524} 9/19/2005
Clever title and a neat image. Hard to imagine all the future bloom is so neatly tucked into that bud in such a compact and symetrical manner. I will watch for the blossom when it is posted. Del.


Ivan Kralik   {K:1099} 9/23/2005
Perfect shot Jim.

I took this same photo today.. yours is so beautifully clear and detailed, I love it. Alison


Peter McDonald   {K:4443} 9/24/2005
hello there,

nice use of dept of field, and not putting the flower head in the middle of the frame is great.

the nice subdued brings the shape and texture of the flower head.

cheers peter.


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 9/30/2005
A very nice 'experiment', Jim!
I think you're going to enjoy that new lens!
Best regards, Chris


Martin .   {K:24412} 9/30/2005
Jim,

I am impressed with this piece of glass my friend... I do love your DOF, but I would like to see it shot at 125 @ f/8 just so the tips of the bud were a little more in focus...

Just a thought,

Martin


Roger Williams   {K:83282} 10/1/2005
Glad you liked my flower, Jim. I see you have discovered the joys of macros, as I did recently. This one is unusual--and just literally bursting with life.


Mevludin Sejmenovic   {K:3267} 10/6/2005
Excellent!!! 7

Mevludin

Beautiful macro Jim! Great composition and I love the subtle colors, can't wait to see the dahlias!

Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 10/19/2005
This is so interesting, I like this.
Good details, and awesome lighting!
The leaf and background colors are really nice.

Good job,
Lori ;)


Ozjan Yeshar   {K:18598} 10/19/2005
Superb macro details and great DOF Jim! Cheers & thanks for your comment.


Reda Danaf   {K:11909} 10/26/2005
Superb macro well taken.


Tim Long   {K:9222} 10/31/2005
The symmetry is impressive, as is the way that you used the light and dof to isolate the bud, and the background composition that draws my eye into it. The background makes this one for me. Good eye, Jim!
Tim


Erik Neldner   {K:10896} 11/8/2005

Nice colours and depth of focus, the bud almost seems to be floating


Lajos Joo   {K:179} 12/9/2005
This is one of the best macros I've seen here and the background colors... Noone could have found more suiting than this.
Congratulation.
I love that your exposure informations are always correct (i can learn a lot from them). Keep up with this good habbit.

Jason Mardell   {K:1113} 5/23/2006
Jim - with the formation of those petals underneath, this shot (especially the thumbnail) looks to me like a lovely ring in a jewelers shop!


Baha Sadri   {K:15645} 5/31/2006
Great macro shot regardless of what it actually might be called:)
and thanks for your encouragement,
baha

Albert Jacobs   {K:9450} 9/1/2006
Thankz Jim,

For this fantastic beauty !

A perfect image. Strong composition and excellent DOF. The colors are also very fine, the contrast between the flower and the rest guides immidiately the attention to were it belongs.
Compliments, you have a very nice IG.

Greetz,
Albert
