Ray, I guess it is my habit to say what comes to mind as i look at a photo, The notion of what I said didn't strike me until after I had clicked on your photo. Don't let me keep you from doing what you enjoy, keep shooting.

And thanks for taking the time to have a peek at my stuff.

Hi Pat.....thank-you for looking in, though I am a little puzzled as to what motivated you to do so if you have such an aversion to floral work. Due to my somewhat poor physical health these days I am restricted to pottering around our garden most of the time with the occasional portrait sessions in our conservatory. Well done on your own portfolio.....some great work there. Best wishes.....Ray

It's good, a little underexposed perhaps but I really am getting tired of flower macros. Nothing personal mind you, I have shot plenty myself. I could just for a while without seeing another.

Hi again MAry.....thank-you so much for popping by and commenting on this shot and again on my grandson. We are just back from our holiday and I am in the process of getting back to normal.

I have just returned from a brief visit to YOUR fabulous portfolio and feel deeply honoured that you gave mine a look. Thank-you so much, I do so hope that I get to see more of your magic. I am sure I mentioned it in a comment....had a great love affair with your SK lenses many years ago.
Very best wishes to you.....'see' you again I hope.

Well, I can see why this one ended up as photo of the day--congratulations! It's one of the best things you've done in your wonderful series of macros. The others have said it all... the sharpness where it needs to be sharp, the smoothness where it doesn't, and the lovely contrast between the creamy smooth petals and the shiny droplets... Super, Ray!

My good friend Maxime, there you are but where have all your compositions gone to? What has happened to you?? If it is difficult to express yourself here on UF get in touch with me at.... stingraywhyte@aol.com
Surely, what upsets or worries you can be sorted out....life is too short my dear friend to pay too much attention to small matters.
'Speak' to me soon and don't drift away from us. Take good care of yourself and plan to amaze us with your creativity. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

AJ Miller AJ Miller   {K:49168} 5/9/2006
This is a mighty fine shot - it looks like some sort of exotic fruit or sea creature. The drops (especially the central ones) give an extra dimension to the image. I don't generally go for floral shots unless they do something different - and this one definitely does. Congrats on the award!

Many thanks to you Hugo for your visit and kind comment. I know florals aren't your scene and I appreciate the visit all the more. The weather is getting warmer and I am hoping to go further afield than our garden for some shots that maybe of more interest to you landscape guys. By the way, had a quick peep at the lensbaby shots, I need time to look again and think of how I feel about controlled distortion....Many thanks again Hugo. Very best wishes to you.

Hugo de Wolf Hugo de Wolf   {K:185110} 4/30/2006
Hi Ray, I'm generally speaking not a huge fan of florals, but I find this one pretty impressive. I like how the crystallike water drop attracts the attention, and I'm impressed by the extremely high image quality where sharpness is concerned. Good DoF, and a well balanced composition. Not only the crystallike drop, but also the others add a great deal to the appeal of this image. I think if you'd increase the brightness and saturation a notch, the impact and clarity of the image might possibly make the impact eof this photo even stronger.

Cheers,

Hugo

Such a lovely macro Ray! You always seem to get such great detail in your macros. The water droplets are superb! I haven't been able to master such detail in any of my water droplet macros.

I know what you mean about being behind in your comments. We went camping for six days last week and I have a lot of catching up to do!

Good work my friend!

Uauu! Ray, very nice macro shot, you've been getting wonderful sharp image from your new lenses... Beautiful composition with very good clarity, so much depth in it, the pistils details are very well seen. I like the droplets of water especially the three very clear ones on the inside.. It feels so near looking at it that i can imagine the fragrance of the magnolia..
great shot Ray, congratulations!

Hi stingRay,

Well, it took me awhile to figure this shot out. For a time I kept thinking there was a sense of floating, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

You've made the viewer feel like a bee! It's a bee's eye view as it's flying into the flower!

This may be caused by the converging lines and focus/DOF, but I really don't know. I like the macro view and I don't think the full flower shot would give the the same sense of being inside.
Fantastic shot!

Best regards,
Kes

Now, Ray! Why you didn't enter this in the Poetry in Pictures category is a mystery to me. A very soft and sensuous photo, with something mysterious and maybe alien lurking in the center. The tension is really great. Well done!

Looks fine. Like the dof and droplets. For some reason to me it has kind of a glass effect. Excellent composition.

Hi there Mohammad.....taken in a shady area of our garden with the magnolia up against a garden fence, so additional lighting not an option I'm afraid. All the best....

Just stunning Ray- never seen anything like it. I love the way you often capture drops. Here, they are remarkable. The closeness, colour and clarity-I don't see it in reality! You educate in what to see!

An awfully gorgeous macro flower! Pleasant sight, wonderful details and attractive colours! I adore how you could imprison the drops of water on the leaves, looks like crystals! Well done! Masterwork! Praiseworthy indeed!
Best wishes: Maxime

Beautiful Ray,
I love the position of the droplets in this image. They almost look like they are in motion, falling into the middle of the flower. Great macro!

Fabulous, Ray! The detail in this photo is outstanding. I love the water droplets.

I'm just about to invest in a macro lens myself, methinks I shall have to pick your brains for some tips how to capture photos as excellent as this one! :)

Take care, SQirl

Ok, now that I've achieved my goal, I can relax and get into it with you ;)

Love it love it love it... :)) Seriously, I've not seen anything like it before. Oh sure, there's always florals about with a few little droplets of water blardy blardy blah, BUT, none that look as perfectly enchanting as this. Almost as though there should be a respectful hush when viewing, so as not to disturb the delicate balance... You amaze me Ray and another one directly to my favs...

Hugs and kisses to you gorgeous.
Rina.
