From a standing position just a few feet away these flowers seem to glow and the detail is invisible. It's quite a surprise when you move in close. They're about the size of a 25 cent piece.

You are posting some great flower shots Doug. Obviously you took the time to stop and do some smelling.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Exceptional detail, Doug. These are Evening Primrose. They close up at night and spread nicely through the garden. The oils from these flowers are good for your skin. Love the vibrant yellows and greens.

Wow, you nailed this one, Doug. Sharp focus really brings out the details. I'm in awe of those who can take consistently good flower shots. I like the presentation and the way that the bloom grans the spotlight from the adjacent leaves. Excellent use of the lighting.

I just read some of the comments above. I thought I was being original and found that everything I said was already said. I have to get to your postings sooner or simply say "Me Too".
