The bud of the flower in my 'Wet red' photo. (Nikon D3000 + Tamron 70-300, macro mode, 300mm, f5.6, 1/200, ISO 400, -1EV, shutter priority, handheld) Tanju
The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Wow this is one really beautiful looking photography. Love the droplets of water on the flower and the colours are soon nice and warm.Plus the black and slight blue background is very fitting for the flower.
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
Maybe you should have called it Fire Bud" The bright red looks like it is on fire my friend. I went on a 2000 KM bus tour all throughout Western Turkey. We went from Istanbul to Canakkule, Izmir, Konya, Cappadocia, Ankara then back to Istanbul. It was very chilly most of the time since I went in March 2006. All the places I visited were amazing but for some reason I like Izmir the most Tanju. I love Turkey, Diane
