Description Shot at twice life size with a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens.

This shot would also work if I turned it 90 degrees to the left, but I'm leaving it like this for those of you who like to use my images as your desktop background

I love these pics with the butterfly in the red flower!~ The brightness of the flower really adds to the composition of the wholt photograph

Thanks

Tough to find a composition that works -the flower is shaped like a bowl...

Putting me in the same category as Alliec is high praise -I have a lot of respect for his skill and talent with a camera!

Welcome!!

Yeah, Alliec have very much talent and skill, when I saw his work for the first time ([link] ) I said "this guy is amazing".

You are very talented too! I'm a macro lover, and I love your work.

In next months I'll buy my first macro lenses, maybe a Sigma 70mm

This one is great! A wings looks like someone paint them, flower is nice contrast, and backrund is little to dark but its ok! Great work

Thanks

The flash bouncing off of the flower did most of the heavy lifting for me on this one. Not much I could do about the background other than increase the ISO.
