I love the water drops on the second daisy. Beautiful! I'd quibble a little with placing the "center of interest" so high up in the composition?

Thanks for the comment... actually that was not quite intentional It is tough to handhold this Sigma 70-300 in Macro mode at 300mm with no other support! But after I saw the picture, I actually liked the "center of interest" not being in the center of the frame in this case... But maybe it was just me I think in these situations I should take more than one shot...

BTW, the two roses above are really beautiful... I don't know if it's my eye or what, but the first one seems to be a bit on the soft side...

John, what's with the flowers? We need your long lens on the bird site (if we ever get them put together). No metaphore intended

Also: As always your shots are terrific.

Very nice. That pretty well confirms the attributes of the Sigma 70-300 APO. I have to agree with John, but that doesn't mean its not a good shot. It is.

These a lovely pics from you - aside from the nice framing - how much post processing do you on these shots??
Also - it would be interesting if you could post some settings etc
Thanks for all the great shots
Geoff
PS - how do you attach yours??They seem much bigger than I can post
