I love the textures of the backside of these flowers; here's an attempt at capturing them:

Canon 10D, 300/4, F20, 1/6 sec, tripod and remote release, shot in bright morning shade

I wanted to see if I could capture a full range of tones and get deep DOF and a decent background. Appealing, or not?

Monique, I am packed and ready to go, I may not look like much but I am well behaved and can grow on you like a fungus, with no cure for it!!!

Hi Tom. I think it's very appealing. I especially like the one little curly leaf at the bottom.
