I'm trying to get more in your mind here. Did you spot the Sun first and then engineer a foreground to marry it with, or did you choose the flowers first and while composing then noticed the Sun and put the two together?

Possibly not everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the extreme angle you've adopted here - all those lines converging on the Sun - yummo.

Beaut. backlit reds.

This is pretty cool too but the earlier/later one is even better imho.

So here's the surface tension effect again; the insect sort of escapes it.

Nicely composed ultracloseup but what do you think of the impact of the clinging water? When I was taking the frog pix last week I experienced the same effect - the water clinging to it by surface tension just distorted its outline too much for my taste. In your earlier head-on shot you were further away and it wasn't evident.

Sorry, not sure about this one. Thinking the focus should be a little further in.

Wow, definitely a MacTak pic. Extraordinary.

Fanbloodytastic! Multiple faves!

Thank you Bill for jumping in. Being under the table was the only setting that made sense to me LOL. The lengths people will go to just to shoot into the light. I just hope it's not a shout for help if no-one's home.
