So I am sitting around the house while we are undergoing a furnace transplant. The HVAC guys showed up at 0800 and by 1000, I was already getting bored just sitting around. So I started playing with my camera gear and one thing led to another. I spotted one of my wife's plants in bloom, hauled it down and started shooting. Nothing fancy - no flash; no tripod. Here's what I came up with.
Canon 30D; Sigma 70mm Macro lens; handheld
1/50 sec @ f/5.6; ISO 200: +1 EV

Reason: Removed faint dust spot from background
Nothing fancy - it's funny how those two words leave us with some of the very best images, isn't it?
The colors are beautiful Ed. I love the composition, also. I wish I could see a bit more of the yellow tip of the flower bloom but understand why you made the comp the way you did.
