I know I know - dandelions are done to death, but if you go closer - they are really pretty interesting :)

Fantastic, Rel. Beautiful detail and pastel colours, and the square crops work a treat.

Hey Rel,

These are great! Fantastic observational skills on your behalf - but I would expect that considering your previous macro work. These would have been a great idea for the Fred Hollows exhibition. There is so much beauty in so many things that we generally take for granted.

great Macro work Rel!

The near symmetry of #1 makes it a winner. Normally I'm a bit iffy on some macro stuff, but this is truly a stand out image.

It'd look great one one of those big canvas prints.

You've probably mentioned this a dozen times before, but which lens?

Thanks everyone :)

Ladybird - I agree - would have been great for Fred Hollows ...... I'm an idiot and didn't think of it .... :(

Taken with the 105 Nikon micro lens (of course ;) ), 1/320, f18, iso 200 and flash with beercup and cap :)

Thanks again
hugs
Rel

ps everyone should go out and get a macro lens - there's a whole new world waiting for you to see :) :)

Terrific stuff Rel. That lens has become an extension of you.

Gorgeous work Rel. Lovely play with extremes in DOF. Would make great illustrations to a tutorial on the topic :) Here's your chance girl! :wink:
cheers
