Many Thanks to all who have both posted and enjoyed this thread-

I just wanted you to know that I will be absent from the forum for about 17 days (beginning at noon tomorrow) as we will be off to do a workshop in the Caribbean.

We have not be able to achieve a "permanent threat" status as yet, but perhaps that will come along quite soon. So please keep up the activity on the thread. Certainly all of your photos have been both beautifal and wonderful. Many thanks to all who have supported and enjoy the flower close-up/macro thread.

Lovely shot Geoff the background really sells the flower. Knapweed? has such interesting flowers.

Here's one of a Freesia with my Canon A80 to add to the bouquet. I think it is probably a tad overexposed - think the white might be blown rather than white - hard to tell sometimes - the histogram looks OK'ish. I also found the flower a really awkward shape to compose it being like a hockey stick.

wow, that's awesome! i'm really interested in what the settings/lighting conditions were.
