Toledo Botanical Gardens.

Sony DSC-S75, f/8, 1/640, ISO 100

I absolutely love the shapes and texture of flowers yet I never seem able to capture this in a photo. All comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. Thanks for looking!

edit- I just opened this after switching from contacts to glasses and it looks much softer than I originally thought. Time to have my eyes checked... :(

Hey Laura,

this is really really nice. Composition is real strong, and my eye flows around the image nicely. I think this is really well done.

Cheers

This works for me! The texture in the petals looks great. I wish I could say I had made it!

I agree, this is very nice. I'm sure there is detail in the pollen grains that just can't be full appreciated in a small screen image.
