From the Calendar Gardens, I used my new Canon 70-200 F/4L Lens. Postwork done in Photofiltre and photoscape.

This was handheld, and the lens does not have IS, I did not want to spend double the dollar amount just for that.

Thank you for your comments, I'm curious what you have to say.

Beautiful color and DOF, and it is sharp where it is supposed to be sharp. Nice work, Sandi.

Well, you and your new camera did a marvelous job. Truly a beautiful close up and like the background really showing this off.

I like the colour contrasts in this shot. Metallic petals and soft brown background.

Beautiful Tigz. Your new lens did the trick. I think you could use a Coke bottle and get a great photo.

The bloom looks stunning amongst the dark background Tigz, & the whole photo has a 3 dimensional feel.

Very pretty. Like how the one flower is completely out, one just starting and the others are still in the bud stage. A great photo of the cycle of life.
