I cant help with the ID Tina, but it sure is a beautiful flower. NIce job.

me either but its lovely

Sorry, I have no "ID". Beautiful plant and image, though.

Wow...Beautiful photo.

Hey Tina,

Like the shot very much. Are you using extension tubes to get these shots?
Can't ID the flower but it grows in the garden right outside my office at home.

Fantastic lighting, Tina. I like this one a lot.

thanks guys!
paul, i don't own any extension tubes yet
nick, i think this will go into next years comp. It was taken outdoors!

Hi Tina;
Has the look of a type of Hypericum to me; but you'll need an Ozzie expert to verify!
On the image front - to me - it looks a little on the dark side. Might benefit with a bit of bumping...
Other than that - nice work;
Cheers;
Lee

Lee is right Tina. I went out to the garden and the plant still had its tag stuck in the ground! It's a Hypericum or a St John's Wort. (Supposed to be a natural antidepressant, but I don't think I'll go out and munch on some to see!)

beautiful flower shot ~

Well it certainly cheered me up!

Lovely photo!

thankyou all for your lovely comments.
Paul, i used to take hypericum, the kids drove me to distraction! And i don't think i will munch on it either!
Lee, i had a play lightening it a bit, but it didn't do any good. there is a sort of smudgyness that then comes thru. Not sure what is is, dark bokeh maybe. Appreciate your point of view though.

Your welcome Tina

nice shot Tina
