Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

This is the best, Mr. P. I like the fuller view, and I'm usually one to get right up on the flower, but the background is flawless and can take more detail.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
This is beautiful the way the little flower stands out so dramatically against the background but looks so delicate at the same time. I also really love the way the little yellow leaves look so glossy, normally petals seem to have a matt look to them but these look like they have just been washed. :)
