Summer Beauty

[Marc Mol]

Our native flowering gum "Summer Beauty" (an Australian Native ) has come into bloom and thought I'd get out the Sigma 150 for a few shots this morning.
Sydney, Australia.
D300 Sigma 150f/2.8 macro 1/30s ISO200 f/16@150mm +SB900 -1EV & tripod.

C & C most welcome

Cheers
Marc

Very colorful with good DOF. I love the water droplets all over the flower.
My only nit would be the large highlight in the center, would like to see it cloned out.
Good photo!

Interesting capture.

Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous colors! The water drops add a nice element. I like the flower filling the frame.

My eye doesn't quite know where to focus. First I notice the pink, then the ants, then the yellow, then the center. I wish there were one thing that was the focus of this image.

I have to agree with Christopher.
