Fabulous the way the sun plays across this gorgeous bloom. Great clarity and colours in the close up, John. This shot shows so many different shades of colours. Really a great job, love it
Just noticed this one of yours next to mine in the new images gallery. It caught my eye before I knew it was yours! This is a lovely shot and I love how the sunlight catches some of the stamens and not others, adding to the interest. Great macro shot. Well done!

Wow John, you really took the Prize here for Foofy Friday.
Super Close Up with Beautiful Detail.
I think you got some Pollen on your Lens There. LOL.
Thanks !
A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.

but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
A beauty John and a well-deserved high score. I was looking at some flowers like this yesterday and thinking about photographing them, but it would never have occurred to me to do this!
