Tali, thanks for visiting my photoblog. you have a good camera. keep clicking and you will improve in a few months. in this pix i find that the flash is too harsh on your subject. try to click in available lights without flash :)

Nice close-up but looks a little soft for me.
I think you will get improved as many as you take photos. :)

Really nice shot of this flower... Like how clear one can see the center of it...
I am a little jealous that you were able to see it so open! :o) I have the plant at home (I think it is the same kind) and last year it gave two flowers for the first time! One of them opened only for one day (you can see it here), the other, well I didn't even get to notice if it did anything at all. :o( So thanks for sharing it with us!!!

A beautiful flower. I suspect that it was growing in deep shade, as this kind of plant often does, which makes it difficult to photograph unless you have a lens that opens up more than f/5.6 or you have a tripod and can use a long exposure. You've captured the colors well. Keep up the good work.

@Jeff: Sadly I have no tripod and it (the flower) both grows in the shade and this was taken at night!!! I am working on getting some better lenses and a tripod now... And thank you so much!!!
@Zsolt: Thank you so much!
@Mohammad1973: Thank you!!
Wolfgang Prigge from Canada
Beautiful flower and nice photo, maybe the focus a tad too soft, or could it be that you posted it more than 800 p wide and it was resized by am3 with a loss in sharpness?
27 Jan 2008 2:25pm
@Wolfgang Prigge: Both are possible! I just post and have not sat down to fully understand how to resize etc... So I am not sure which is the case... Something else I must learn!! Thank you so much though!
@Jen: Thank You!
@Dhini: Thank You!!
@priya: Thank You.

Another great macro with beautiful color and contrast with the white of the flower's interior.

@MaryB: Thank you so much!
