Garden Columbine

[Anita Bower]

Taken indoors with natural light, reflector and tripod, near window. Nikon D300, 1 sec., f51*, ISO 200, Pattern metering, manual exposure, manual focus. PP: RAW conversion in Elements 7, editing in PS7.
*(A few words about the EXIF data. My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site: http://www.jeffree.co.uk/pages/macro-faqs.html ).

Gorgeous, Anita! You are really knocking them out of the park these days!

Only suggestion I have might be to angle the stamen more to the far lower right corner instead of towards the bottom of the frame. I find myself wanting to lean down and look up!

[Anita Bower]

That is the problem with Columbines--they are shy and make it hard for us to see them. :-)

Very nice Anita, would like to see more space at the bottom. I am really enjoying your images.
