Spring Beauty - (enlarge)

Nice macro work!! Love the colors!

Thanks to each one for your visits and input. I value this very much.

Kind regards, Gail

Thank you Charles! I certainly enjoyed your latest captures, so beautiful! If the weather doesn't permit me to practice outdoors, I try to do a bit of 'homework' inside!

those are beautiful iris Gail and i love your macro shot of it

What super colours! The shot looks almost abstract

An amazing image - well done.

I appreciate your visits and encouraging comments, THANKYOU so much!! ;-) Gail

This one is justifiably popular, Gail, it almost has the feeling of a watercolor abstract. Very little manipulation here, more a matter of the attentive eye turning the micro into the macro (I think that's right?!?). Here it feels like the gods have given those lovely yellow-headed stamen their marching orders as they crest the hill under a violet sky..

interesting flower. best, j

Thank you Jack! They do almost look like an army when I think of it!! Sincere thanks for your visit and encouraging remarks, always a pleasure to hear from you.

sorry Jamie, I've not had a chance to check out the proper name for sure, but will let you know as soon as I do ;-) Gail

This is so fabulous, Gail! Great composition, light, details and DOF.  You are an inspiration for me to get my macro out. Superb!!!

I enjoy macro, I hope this does inspire you!

Image with wonderful, tender, pastel colors or well artistically  rendered macro or close up, whatever, uncle Mike will tell what it is if not already told! Well done, dear Gail! Thanks for your visit and contemplative comment!

 

Best regards
