Caper flower (Capparis spinosa)- View larger

To obtain all in focus, I used the method of focus stacking, merging

three photos of this beautiful flower of caper. The buds of this

flower are used in cooking for their intense flavor both salted or in

vinegar especially for flavoring pizzas. Thanks for your comments

Stunning light, color and focus on this eye-catching macro Giangiorgio! Love how the flower pops against the black background!

Beautiful shot.  Excellent job stacking the images... Mike

great presentation Giangiorgio , colors against the background...regards....David

bellissimo,amico mio

Giangiorgio,

Love the clarity and tenderness of this bloom- also very interesting to know where those capers come from. Bravissimo!

I didn't know how nice can be caper flower,sometime I am wonder why different flowers are so complex in design,texture,shapes,colors.Can be seen so nice seen those stamens with purple color on top.You did an excellent shot,is on my taste.Also once again is shown that sigma macro lens are so good,maybe the best.

Caro Giangiorgio, the image is very well contrasted, because all colors beautifully highlight  themselves against black background.

You're already an expert in the art of getting this amazing sharpness, with the help of this technique that uses several shots. The result is amazing.

I know this plant very well, and it's also part of our cuisine. We eat not only the flower buds but also the stems. Here, they're put in glass jars, in salt water and vinegar, closed and left in the sun for a few days, at the end they are so delicious.

The tapenas/capers are widely used in salads, thanks to their acid taste, very good appetizer and served well to start eating. A good snack. A delight for the palate. I love them.

Amazing sharpness and details in this macro. A proud flower :)

The larger size is amazing.

Con cariño, Laura

Excellent and lovely!  Fine work! Having used capers constantly for most of a lifetime, had never seen the flower.  Thank you.

Exceptionnelle !

Qui te la batti con Radu Carp...!!!
