Such a beautiful flower. So enjoy how the petals are reaching up. The black background makes the colors even more dazzling, I love the details so sharp and clear, especially the fuzz on the green part of the flower. Gorgeous textures to. A floral delight that is so pretty.
Have a great day my friend. #9537635

Another amazing macro, Mike!

(I have that flash you use but never used a flash with my macros. Would like to try and find all those parts that you hooked your flash to) #9540357

Thanks! The flash/diffuser has improved my macro shots greatly. The black background is due to nothing in the background to reflect light back. With the manual settings I am using, that is what my entire shot looks like if the flash does not fire. :-) Mike #9547762
