What do you think of this photo? I have a good macro lens, so here is my attempt at flower photography.

White Daisies.

Gorgeeous. I love the drops of water and the settings for short depth of field.

Water drops make a nice difference.

Your composition and framing is great. The light is a little flat.

Somebody I know has been having a lot of fun with his camera lately ~ :)
Another interesting composition is to use that short depth of field and focus on an individual flower in the further in, using some in the foreground as a blurry frame
Have fun and keep posting. And if there's a beach nearby and you have a special bikini lens ~~~~ :socool

Here are a few I took with my old, rather cheap camera a few years ago.

The flash washed out the color a bit here...

Cool mon!

I'll get a nice water drop happening - my lens is wicked for such tasks.

Wow, guys.. those are great shots!! Do you have the full size posted anywhere? They'd make great computer-desktop wallpaper.

Nice pictures. I've also taken some pictures of flowers but I'm still using a digital camera and the result is pretty good. Next time I will post the samples. :)
