@Kylie Greenan: Hehehe just been in to get some of my shots printed and these were not amongst them, i took them after i had ordered the others. Next few! thanks so much Kylie, i think i will pick one of these to frame but to be honest between my paintings and photos there is not a lot of wall left!

@kylie: Hi Kylie, it turned out pretty well and the Aphid was a bonus that i had not even seen untill i uploaded it onto the computer!

Beautiful - my favorite of these so far. I love the sharp focus on the stamen and the curvy lines of the petals.

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Sensuous and erotic.... and a very cool image and a perfect capture. I must watch these next spring, I have a whole bed of them, any monkey business and the rake is going in.

@Observing: You big meany! spoil all their fun!!!!! great comment Mike, made me laugh aloud.

Charles from New York, United States

Great shot Maxine. Love the stamen and the curves...I even like the little bug on the right in the back. I'm going to have to save up for one of these macro lenses.

@Charles: Charles this is the standard lense that comes with my camera, the beauty of 10 megapixel cameras is you can crop and loose no quality.

dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States

wow - just beautiful and rich w/ color! i am loving that true blue stripe! just pops the whole image! magical!! bravo!!

@dj.tigersprout: hehehe the blue stripe was accidental really , our bedspread through the window! So i had to play with the angle of the shot, there was no way i could lose it, just make the most of it.
