Hi Howard.
First I am very please and proud of your high estimation of my last shot. Many thanks.

Your close-up picture of a charming flower is so interesting and cute. I think the image is so poetic and nice. However, selected DOF is disputable a bit. I prefer a bit wider DOF but it is matter of taste. Soft lighting, delicate colours and nice composition create a fine impression. My compliments and best wishes.

Hello H
This is alovely crisp shot..The whites and yellows are really well expose against the lovley blurred bg..Perhaps though another couple of stops would have bought the stem into play whist still retaining the nice bg...Just my opinion!!

Hello Howard,
Superb macro of the Fairy Flax, here just the flower backed up by a perfect neutral green that really sets it off with just the hint of its stem. Excellent focusing and overall sharpness in a fine composition.
TFS this beauty,

Very much spring like and mothers day alike and pure alike and all things that white stand for.......simple...KISS. keep it simple stupid...I wonder why they add the stupid..you're not? Oh well maybe the originator of the phrase ran out of notions after 3 words...simple works...less is more...

Hello Howard
Extraordinary...
the white color is so difficult, and on such a small subject, it is even more difficult. Cheer and thank you for this splendour
