This is one of my favorite wildflowers. It is a spiderwort. It has so many graceful curves.

Beautiful Dedsen - you have great dof and colour, detail etc. I've noticed that there is a lot of light in your flower images, are you photographing them mostly on sunny days? Overcast days are terrific for flower shots.

Thanks Elisabeth. I do try to go out on cloudy or overcast days or find subjects in the shade. My favorite is right after it quits raining to catch some droplets on the flowers. I do carry a collapsable 12" reflector with me to add some light under the flower. I used it on the 2nd one but not the 1st one. You can see the difference on the buds hanging down. The 2nd shot was with my Sigma 150mm macro. 1/20 sec. F8. Raw format.

And I like the second one best - the light in that one is really pretty.

Thanks Stacy. I just had that one printed on canvas at 11x14. I like the way it looks on the canvas.

Outstanding shots of beautiful flowers. They look so good that they could be mistaken for paintings.

Beautiful photos and thanks for the information on the reflector use....it makes a significant difference and realy improves the photo. I'll be sure to get one.
