20100104 - Stonker

MonoMonth

Had a stonking headache all afternoon, so it'll be an early bath tonight I think...

I found an alternative version of yesterday's rose shot, this time without implied decapitation - though I much prefer the original myself :o)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/11.0 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
