Nature Show "Flowers"

Not to be left out :redface:. Here's a couple of blooms from around the homestead. Shot over the last couple of days - victims of my time practising with the DP2s and the AML-1 (Sigma native close-up filter).

The colours are as I remember them....and no I haven't bumped up the saturation - that's how they came out of SPP4 and I was happy with their approximation. Weird thing with the fuchsias is, that those in the foreground appear haloed from over-sharpening. But they have not been sharpened at all. On closer inspection, it's fine hairs around the flowers that have caught the light. Oh that Foveon sensor!...going and catching detail that I just can't see.

That AML-1 has my vote!

nice

Gotta love Spring, nice shots guys.

This tree outside our place is actually two that have grown together. Both create light purple bulbs, but different petals.
