I couldn't resist taking some macros of the lilies while I was working my still life pictures...

Here are some of them....

I really like the composition of number one, and the ink-drawing look of the third.

can i please have #'s 1 & 2 in 1440x900 resolution please? pretty please?

I like the dynamics of the first image--it's doing a leaning dance.

[Irma]

Thanks so much for your comments... I am very happy you find them interesting...

#1 is a ovelayed image, don't know if that is the correct name. I worked with three layes of the same image. I left the background intact, and the other two on top are distorted and rotated then some mask to make them fit in the background. I tried to add a bit of texture but somehow, I couldn't get anything I liked. I think the idea is already interesting and more is not needed...

RP well.... maybe I could exchange ir for a kangaroo picture ...

Great colors, 2 is my fav. is it a crop?

are these taken with your 180mm? How close can you get?

I don't know much about flowers, but #1 really appeals to be in an abstract sense. Well Done!

[Irma]

Thanks Toad... I am very happy you liked #1...

It was my first experiment and I like it. I have seen pictures with this effect but different subjects and it makes very interesting pictures. I want to try with other subjects as well...

Thanks Uli for your comment..

#1 and #2: I took my pictures with my 85mm and the raynox adapter. There is no crop in the pictures, you really get close with nice bokeh too.

BTW I just read and it is not adapter but converter...
