Excellent, Robin! The clarity of the flower is VERY nice (especially for your first whack at it), the colors are really pretty, and the frame's the finishing touch! #554576

Thank You All So Much! It almost makes me feel like I may get good at this photography stuff someday. ~Grin~

I took about 30 pics that day of flowers, a pinecone, and a slug (yuk!).. I'd never tried macro, but loved looking at all the ones you folks have done. There are a few I really like (this was my absolute favorite) most of them my family wasn't crazy about. My kids all love the 2 "Bee" pics I took best. I prefer the flowers. #554620
