Wow, beautiful color.. you got so close now, with that small aperture you can get good bokeh.

What an impressive tulip, hope you get plenty more. I like its colour, and the water droplets add to the shot a lot

Speechless I am. Much is said, so I agree with everyone. Problem with the photo is that it is too large to into my screen (even with full screen) so I cant enjoy it fully and even after I have set it as wallpaper it is still not fitting in. I have to resize it :(
Keep them coming.

A lovely close-up of this tulip. I love the variegated colors in it. The detail is awesome and the raindrops (we've had our share of those in our neck of the woods, haven't we) really add a lot to it. :)

Very nice settings for this macro. The light and the sharpness are just great.

That's gorgeous! Now that I am trying macro myself, I have a newfound appreciation for just how difficult it is. And I know that skill produced that shot!
