Ellen, interesting approach to look at stamen horizontally! I would have liked to have seen the top foreground tip as sharp as the bottom two and the one on the upper left, since the composition suggests the four tips are the subject whole. But you're very close. :-)

Joe echoes my sentiments exactly. love this perspective...

HI Ellen, fantastic macro work as always. You always have a unique perspective and style in the way you capture these. Good job! PS: I am thinking of buying a macro lens for my Canon 400d and would like to take macro shots of things that are close (1-2 metres) and also further away (10-20 metres). I would really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks

Beautiful macro work.

 

Wonderful photo, Ellen. Nice colors, composition and focus. Congrats. Regards, Chico. 6/6

Thanks so much for your advice Ellen. It was very helpful and your english is very good. God bless you.

Wonderful use of DOF to give a very abstract feeling to this photo...

As so many have said...wonderful perspective and nice technical work!

Lovely !

Wonderful Macro shot Ellen. I love the composition and color. Kind Regards Andrea

Ellen my dear, you've just nailed it. I really like the harmonious tones that you've been able to capture with the lighting.

Outstanding!

Wonderful work, great DOF, colors, best regards.

Ravishing colors, and great DOF. tremendous picture, Ellen!

I love the tones and detail, I would almost make this a vertical! Great shot!

i love the isolation against the BG. and what a beautiful BG gradient too. the super shallow DOF works well for this subject. great eye for this shot Ellen. regards, J.K.
