Not the shot that is, but the flower... ^_^ Playing with my new Nikon D80 and Sigma 70mm macro lens.

The color is incredibly rich! The softened focus on the color striation in the petals gives it a feeling of motion and the slight splash of pollen increases that effect. Definitely not the average "foofy" floral shot, LOL.

Thanks for the kind words. I guess it was too dark for the larger crowd... ^_^

(Frantically looking up "foofy" in my dictionary... I'll have to google it I guess.)

This is really good, in my opinion. The focus works well here, centering your focus more to the stamen. The colors are incredible and blend together perfectly.

Thanks for sharing! [+favorites]
