Cleome

Tony, Senol, Gail and Carol-

Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I was very pleased with F&F (flash and focus) on this one. Almost no post-processing. I look at this photo as proof positive that it is the lens on the camera much more than the pixels in the camera that is creates a good outcome (photographer luck and skill notwithstanding.). The camera I used for this shot has "only" 6.1 MP. As for the anonymous rater who gave this a "3" for creativity - I wish they'd taken the time to share with me what they'd have done with a macro/close-up like this to achieve better than "below average" creativity. I would really like to know.
