Beautifull… Who can bore of looking at nature?

Absolutely. Ive photographed this magical opening sequence over three days for two years in a row and the photos are all different. Marvellous experience!

Wow, what an awesome photo. I’ve tried taking photos of new frons like this but they turned out no where near as good as this one. Well done.

Did you use a macro and a tripod? The trick is to get in super close and get the focus sharp. I took plenty that didnt wok out too well!!

Superb

Fantastic detail. Well seen and captured!

Congratulations Marguerite for winning the circles challenge … very gorgeous image … very well deserved!!

Thanks GerryMac!

Spot on Macro. Good to see that it was taken with a D80 just like mine. I’ve been meaning to get a macro lens very soon. Are you happy with the Sigma? I have been thinking about the Tamron 90mm. Would appreciate your input. Cheers.

Thanks Yorgi. Yes, I am happy with the Sigma though I would have bought the Nikon if I had had the money. The VR feature would come in handy occasionally when Im shooting something when there is a very slight breeze.

Congrats on the “Sold” mention Marguerite…..once again, an exceptional shot!

Thanks Julian. Im already anticpating Spring ‘09 when a new set of these little guys reappear for me to photograph!

Congrats on your feature! : )
