Taken at the Lily Gardens in Spring Hill, Florida using my translucent filter to soften the harsh rays of the noontime sunlight.

I used my Canon 100mm Macro Lens set with a smaller aperture to obtain more detail.

Entered into Flowers.

  Spectacular colors, detail, clarity, lighting, dof, pov & comp here!!! Totally inspirational work indeed,Melissa!!!

For the past week I am not pleased with the output of my G9,Melissa. I thought it might be the battery but I researched it and it seems that a rechargeable battery will lose some of its effectiveness & will have to be charged more often but it does not affect the quality of the photos. I have spoken with people at a few camera shops & they told me the same thig. I have checked all the seettings on my camera & nothing seems different. I have not taken one good shot in 8 days so all my entries are quite old. The clarity is not there anymore nor is the vibrant colors or contrasts. Any idea what might be wrong,Melissa. I understand we aar all busy people so if you do not have time to respond I totally understand. Jst frustrated..........

  Thanks so much Leslie and Patrick for your great comment.

Patrick, I have given your problem more thought and I really think the sensor is worn out on your G9. I just do not think sensors are built to last over the course of thousands of photos.

  OUTSTANDING, Melissa. Or should I say outstanding, MELISSA? What a beautiful capture of controlled light. What fine detail and deep, rich color. No two ways about it, it's PERFECT.
