Perhaps, just perhaps, we can get a permanent flower thread going.

this was taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens... sorry about the photoshop framing, I would have to dig for the original. but I like this one myself... no exif, it was shot with my Canon A95 in macro mode and I believe I was shooting in AE mode that day.

Andrew-

Those are great flower photos! Thanks very much for posting them. I love the water drops on the pink flower. Once again it shows how well the Canon A-95 is in the field. You also did an excellent job of controlling your backgrounds.

I thought I would join the flower theme! Taken with an A70 a while ago... not really sure what I did but I liked the affect!

Nice photos guys and gals too. Here's one that I've waited for 3 years to finally bloom in my flower bed. The Rebel XT/Sigma combo did a pretty nice job mounted to a tripod:

Bluedog-

That is a great flower shot. The Sigma you are using is the 18-125mm isn't it? The Sigma 18-125mm I got to use on my 20D could never do a photo like that.
