Macro and Flora Image of the Week for the week ending July 4th, 2014: Joe Senzatimore - Hibiscus

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Joe!

Photographing birds in the back yard yesterday , but they were not co-operating so I turned my attention, and the 600 f4, on the Hybiscus.
Cropped for comp and darkened the BG in CS6 as well as the addition of the stroke.
To quote a friend "One of the most expensive macro lenses in the world".(Lou Buonomo)

800ISO f5.6 at 1/1250th
