Anoter F² (Foofy Friday) image, taken in the garden of my wife with one of my Nikon bodies with an AF-S Micro Nikkor 85mm 1:3 5 G ED VRII lens attached. Please realize that the real diameter of the biggest geranium flower is about 3.4 centimetres (1.3 inch). The other ones are even smaller.

About the presentation, I like to say this: My fiend Sandi (tigger3) said in her comment on my 'Pink Petunia' image: "I love the way they pop through the framework, one of these neat editing tricks I know nothing about."

My friend Lyn (LynEve) has taught me how to do this. She has even made a basic tutorial. Please check-out THIS LINK to read more about it. It will probably cost some attempts and patience to achieve a reasonable result, but please give it a try and you'll see that it's worth the effort.

Hope you'll like this post. Thanks in advance for your comment.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

They do seem to pop out of the frame Cornelius. Nice geraniums with bright colours.

I have been monitoring your shots daily Sea and have enjoyed them all. That's a good lens you have. My Nikon body has been crying for one but it will have to wait.
The OOB type of framing is done well and the tutorial helps those who want to give it a try. Beautiful coloring.
Happy F² to you and good health to you and yours.

Tack sharp and lovely. Great dof too. Nice work. I always like the OOB look, but seems lots of work.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
