Went up to the outdoor gardens on my lunch break. The sun was harsh and hot! Not very satisfied with my efforts, but here it is...

ohh you've done this soo amazingly beautiful!

Know what you mean about that nasty mid day sun! I read somewhere that using flash can help knock out some of those nasty shadows and reduce the contrast. Might be worth a try. Nice contrast of flowers with background. I think all of ours have died now. :(

Beautiful colors and nice DOF.

Delicate and detailed! Great color combination again. So sharp and saturated!
Leo Charette21-Jul-2005 14:04
Simple and very attractive composition. Love the complimentary colors and your dof. Flowers seem just a tad oversharpened but an outstanding image.

I wish I could get such results; I'd be so happy. This is really nice.

lovely shot
Guest 21-Jul-2005 11:02
I think you did a great job on this little flower despite the light.
There are just enough shadows and the dof is nice.
Guest 21-Jul-2005 10:54
Very pretty flowers and capture.

Looks good to me! Nicely done with the midday sun.

Fantastic!!
Steven Jusczyk21-Jul-2005 07:08
Great colors and detail.

Mindy, the light is little harsh but you can't control if you take it in mid afternoon. This is still a nice shot with great detail, DOF and lovely colors. ^_^
Lee Rudd21-Jul-2005 06:37
you have high standards! this is beautiful... lots of detail
Jim Worlding21-Jul-2005 06:32
Mindy search as I might I can not see what it is that you are "Not very satisfied"
with, a third flower could improve it but that is a job for mother nature.No agree with the others nice, very nice.

Beautiful....it's tough to shoot flowers, in the direct sun, without blowing out the highlights and you did an excellent job.
Brian McAllister21-Jul-2005 05:14
Beautiful macro. Wonderful blue tones.
Guest 21-Jul-2005 04:59
Oooo, I love the fuzzy little thingys in the middle of these flowers. Fantastic detail.
Bryan Murahashi21-Jul-2005 04:23
Very nice detail.
Guest 21-Jul-2005 03:28
Gorgeous detail ... little drops on sunshine in the centre of the flower! :)
Pepe Zyman21-Jul-2005 02:58
Very nice!
Elaine (etfitz)21-Jul-2005 02:57
Wonderful macro! The detail is beautiful!
Guest 21-Jul-2005 02:49
The smaller buds in the middle casted some nice shadows on the pedals.
Karen Leaf21-Jul-2005 02:06
Nicely caught mid day light. You do wonders with that lens.
Linda Willets21-Jul-2005 01:38

Guest 21-Jul-2005 01:21
Another great picture!
Cindy Flood21-Jul-2005 01:18
Nice bokeh and I love the green and purple together.

The clarity is your usual standard, Mindy.
