Absolutely beautiful, what a lovely macro and soft glow treatment. The fine covering of hair shows up well.

Mary, another amazing shot that is simply stunning. I love the background color. HOw did you manage that? It is so warm and rich - superb! What lens are you using for these wonderful shots. I might just have to wish for one like it. Thanks for the info on the frame and I will download it as soon as I have my photoshop elements 7. I ordered it, but it has not arrived yet. I can't wait to get it and begin playing with it :)

@Marion: The background is actually a cardboard box. It had nice light hitting it and the filter brought it out a little more. My macro lens is a Sigma 105mm macro.

I like how you can see the tiny hairs on the flower. So pretty. Excellent macro shot.

So beautiful! The light is great, and I love the composition! I love the orange background too! I tried to do orange with my gladiola, but had a hard time getting the color just right with the light. Yours is perfect and works so well with the red!

Another beauty! I like the vignetting - really places the emphasis where it should be - and the detail of thelittle hairs is excellent!
