Sometimes the most beautiful things are right under our feet, in this case close by mine. I looked hard to find something to shoot yesterday but there was nothing, nothing but this tiny little yellow flower cluster, as I got down on the ground to observe it more I realized it was perfect.

I'm experimenting with different lighting scenarios, I also used a small aperature to isolate the subject onto a nice dark background, I'm working on trying to get the right DOF with sharpness.

As for the species of flower I cannot tell you its name, although it is a pretty little thing about 2cm.

L'éclairage st parfait et le Bg très foncé fait bien ressortir les fleurs. Félicitations pour l'absence de bruit.

Merci pour l'envoie.

Hello Paul!
Magnificent close up.I liked POV,colors,details,contrast between BG and flower and composition a lot.
I'm planning to buy Nikkor 105mm with VR,are you happy with
your lens and ring flash?I'm still using sigma 150mm f/2.8 and sigma ring flash.
TFS..:-)

Hi Paul, very nicly composed photo, Every thing is sharp shows great details, Excellent work, TFS Kyle

Hello again, this is a lovely picture. Very clear, with great colours and lighting. The DOF is perfect. I think I would be tempted to clone out the stem. I know it should be there, but it is a little bit distracting.
Overall, great shot!

Lovely image Paul!
The soft but rich yellow flower really pops with that black background! That green works so well with the yellow petals! Perfect DOF and POV!

A super macro, Paul.

Good shot.

Hi Paul,
Excellent shot!
Very sharp image, good lighting, great colour and well composition.
TFS!

Hi Paul,
Your soft lighting here is excellent! To isolate it with a dark backround was perfect. That in my opinion really makes is so beautiful. Nice saturated colors with good detail, but not over sharpened. Nice work

Hi Paul,
Great lighting, very soft and even. Is this using the R-1 system?
Cheers
Paul
