Persimmons
These won't be ripe for a while yet, but I kind of like the hint of orange. They have a kind of "dusty" finish so there's no shine to them either. The effect is soft and subtle I think.
another newbie first post While most flower shots concentrate on their wonderful symmetry, sometimes the very lack of symmetry and even decay, as the flower passes it prime, can contain a certain beauty. This is one of my first attempts with my new Olympus C740 macro setting so lighting and such is probably not the best!

and one more This was taken on recent trip to Canada with my sons to visit Niagara Falls where we visited the Butterfly Conservatory. since most butterflies are found in moist environs the conservatory was a semi-tropical environment.

"It's better to bite the hand that feeds you, than to feed the hand that bites you" - Me
I've been struggling with getting a really crisp, detailed macro shot of a flower. They've been focused fine, but lacked detail.
I think I finally figured it out...if nothing else, this one at least has the really fine detail I've been searching for. Bring up its original size and you can see flecks of dust (or pollen maybe) and tiny hairlike fibers (on the leaf immediately below the bottom petal).
Heck, there's even a bug's butt peaking out from behind a petal (sort of like where's waldo).
Waiting slightly later in the day might have provided better lighting, but I knew I wouldn't have that chance today, so I grabbed it while I could.
Here's my latest attempt (click the pic to see its original size):
Loving thisflower thing ....
i'm learning too, and love taking shots of flowers/foliage etc. they seem to work out well every time ..... (sorry, I have to attach them individually) :cry

I like this one a lot snappy, great colors and textures. VERY nice
Whatever you did in post on the different layers left a slight halo around the fruit and a couple of the twigs, That could be touched up a hair, but I like it a lot.
Hello. I just joined the group tonight and wanted to add a couple of my flower shots. I love shooting them.
This is just a few. I spend a lot of time taking PICS of flowers because I don't get away from the house much...!! Take Care!!

I was at the Morris Arboritum today, and saw a picture of your last flower. The info said that it was great for killing cancer cells...unfortunately, if you take enough of it, it is poisonous and will kill you, too. Ain't that ironic?
Macro Rose Shot
I've taken flower pics a number of different ways, but the macro lense seems to produce the best results. The photos posted in this forum are pretty amazing, so I thought I would share a few of mine as well. Not pro status, but I like 'em. These are two different roses in the garden.

A Monarch butterfly I believe

And this is some form of Moth I think -

Just got a new camera and this is my first post so forgive me if I screw it up!
I did, going to try again.

This is one of the latter variety taken at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens last weekend.

I thought I would add some of my own... (These were taken from the Butchart Gardens in Victoria Canada)

I like this picture so much, but I wish it didn't have the CA.

Multi-faceted flower..this flower actually looks like several flowers bundled together.
