Great shot. This should be on the way to a feature. The detail is excellent and the texture of the petal as well. Great job.

Excellent macro...the detail and focus are perfect

Lovely picture, love the detail. Great shot.

Thanks everyone. I was unsure about the amount of darkness in the left-hand corner, but apparently it hasn't bothered anyone.

Texture, pollen, composition. lovely.

What a lonely tree Sarah!

very atmospheric

Pretty classy.

I love the colors here, so simple. Just beautiful, great capture.

I love this. The colors are fantastic and the tree is like a nice little afterthought. Perfect to me.

Something comforting about this,
like coming home.
Fine shadows there too.

Wow, I really like this one. Feels more like they are holding their breaths than that they are statues.

I have often played in public,but never put out a hat or anything.
I love to hear 'folks' playing music.

I'm in love! I love this photo!
Really, this is what photography has over all other art forms. Thanks for this.

Thanks Matt!

As far as I am concerned Ms Sarah...this photo of your is THEE best Self Portait so far...I totally agree with Matt's comment...totally!

Portait? tait? Where is my brain...why cannot I spell PORTRAIT when I need to? Shoot me. Or give me more shots...lol

Sher- it was worth it. Thank you.
Virginia- It's actually at the Finger Lakes. Wow, you're good!

I grew up in the Finger Lakes, thanks for this image. It made my day.

Wow! Fantastic detail. Wonderful colors. The ants and the water droplets make the photo! Really great photo Sarah! Fantastic shot!

Sher, for some reason, ants love my peonies. If I were an ant, I'd crawl on it too. I wish you could smell the picture. Smell-o-vision
