excellent macro!!!!!!!

this is really good!!!!

RE 7/7

I know ... I'm protesting too much ... but I really know NOTHING about the technical aspects of macros. But ... this is definitely appealing for the beautiful bright colors against the dark background, and for the sharp angles and lines adding motion to the image.......

Perfect photo, Congratulations...

Howard, I really like the colorful flower against the muted leaves in the background. Very different!

I wonder how this might look with the background completely black? The flower is so elegant that a black background might work well. I'm into the simplistic approach with flowers.

I like so much this kind of flower. Good work and see how I worked with the mine ...

Excellent detail, mix of color and composition.

Good work Howard.

Beautiful shot! Love the lines and colours. Congrats.

Howard, One of the best I've seen here. Excellent work. Comp, color, contrast and detail right on. Congratulations.

Very nice detail with a muted background that makes the subject pop.

As presented, it looks more like a bird than a flower, I love it! You are so........creative!

Especialy nice presentation of that flower. Pnina

The dark background enhances the subject. Magic shot!
