I received my new camera the day I came down with the Flu so I haven't been able to get any shooting done. This is one of the pansies growing on my terrace and it's my first shot. The camera is a Panasonic Lumix with a Leica lens. At this point only used auto settings as there is a steep learning curve for the camera settings. All comments, criticisms and pointers are greatly appreciated.

You got a good camera there, Kathy. Your first post with it is a dandy, too. Beautiful color and lighting. Very nice.

You're obviously a very quick learner with a top-quality camera, Kathy. Great close-up work.

I just reviewed your gallery. You obviously have a knack for photography and especially photos of flowers. This is a spectacular shot. The colors that you captured are astounding. I am amazed at the clarity and the detail of this picture. I am wondering, however, why you cut off a couple of the petals. The slightly unfocused background makes this a nearly perfect photo.
