Stamen & Stigma

Paul Iddon

The second lily flower has opened up today (the first bloom was removed for the other day's image) and I got in close and personal this time, concentrating on the innards of stamen and stigma.

Deliberately set the aperture to a nice wide f/6.3 because I am concentrating your eyes on the nitty gritty dirty person parts... :smile6

The petals are very white as you'll have noticed, and the background is green wallpaper. Light is diffused light from the overcast rainy day through the living room window.

This is the sort of flower macro I like. Question is, do you?


C&C as always encouraged.

Yes I like too- lovely light. I suspect I would have tried (by focus stacking) to get a bit more of the 2 anthers on the left in focus but that's me
