I like the lighting

Thanks - think I would have liked it slightly lighter behind the stamen.

Lovely shot Linda - Love hollyhocks.
Brian V.

Thanks Brian - me too, really love them. Planted six more earlier this year but nothing happened with them, so will try again next year with more mature plants.

Nice shot Linda, it reminds me of a tropical sea tube worm.

Thanks Alby

Lovely pic Linda.

Excellent detail. I like it!

Thanks makes a change from insects, but not half as interesting lol.

Riverlander wrote in post #3695748
Very good effort. I like it. Reminds me of some shots I once took of a hibiscus.

Thanks - yes, very similar to hibiscus. Think I would prefer a different terminology to 'very good effort' - sounds like I made a hash of it lol.

nice change of scenery Linda. i shoot lots of flower myself just don't post many of them.

Bill

Thanks Bill - I used to do a lot of flower shots, but I reckon insects really are far more interesting

Hiya Linda,

Lovely shot, like Alby this reminds me of a ' Fan Worm ' or maybe Medusa's snake like ' Tentacles '

Notice I was very careful with the spelling especially for you after my last little Faux-Pas

Cheers for now
Mark

Thanks Mark - yes it does look like somethings tentacles doesnt it lol (had to take care myself then

See you used the 100mm lens then!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely shot super composition and lighting well done Linda.

Thanks Brian. Oh god yes, the 100mm - good job you said that, I only put the wrong lense info under the the pic on my gallery lol. Im so used to putting the 60mm under practically all of them lol. I cant remember now why I had the 100mm on, but it did a nice job of it.
