Macro Flower

Critique, but please be gentle. It was my second macro shot. Sure was

not easy! It was so Chicago that day windy! (Chicago the windy

city, Get it?)

I had to hold the flower with one hand, camera with the other and

pressed the shutter with my tongue. Just Kidding!

I like the composition. I know how hard it is when the wind starts blowing. You really need to stop down to get those foreground spikes in focus, but the shutter would be too slow. Flash would ruin the effect - what can you do. If you had the patience - tripod and wait for the wind to stop. I like it - keep it up.

nice colors....don't know anything about macro but could you get away with a super fast film to get you the shutter speed to stop it down?who's flower is it? maybe next time just bring some scissors and head back inside....i won't tell, us illini got to stick together.
