Meet my little friend Henry. Henry also lives in a little corner of my Pops enchanted garden. Henry is a ladies man; always trying to romance the Lilies and the Tulips in th flower beds. This morning I found Henry visiting Miss Pandora; so I came in closer for a peek. Henry and Pandora were painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 macro lens with an extension tube.

It is a very creative image, Gus but I don't care for the two flare/hot spots. Did you try blending those in to the surroundings a bit in post processing?
Hi Gus, beautifully creative as always - I hope that young Mr Henry is not going to get up to too nuch mischief with the ladies when you are on vacation!!!
I'm really enjoying your macro images, Gus! I agree with Julie on the hot spots here; also, to me, the edges around the in-focus part of the image seem too sharply defined....?
Agree with Anita - the sharpy defined area's seem out of place with the softness of the rest of the image, but then again it does draw your eye to the main section of the photo.
