Sensational composition, Bob, and the clarity and detail are amazing--I love seeing the *texture* of the petal through the raindrops--outstanding! #4345223

I'm a big fan of this one Bob. I see this going right to the top and getting a winners badge.
PS: I don't think the lens flare is a problem in the other shot. #4345225

Thanks! The Iris' are sitting out there again tonight after another watering, but I'm charging my batteries for a trip tomorrow early a.m. to MY mountain. I figure I have to leave around 3:30 a.m. Pitiful!!.. :-)

Great macro Bob. The magnification of the water drops looks cool and the color is fabulous. Great image. #4380006

Very Pretty! #4393131

Haven't stopped by for a while and having a nice browse! Nice detail on those water drops and nice to see an example of what you do with the Canon 180 macro L. Do you miss the image stablization with the 100-400L? I've been looking at the 180 for a long time (and will look for quite a while longer!) but IS has spoiled me! I wish Canon would come out with a macro L with IS! #4404725
