WOW!!
Seriously, how the heck did you get this good?!

You've gotten SOO much better than when you first started posting, Did you get a better camera too? (I notice the image quality seems better too!)

Great job implementing everything you have learning, composition, lighting and detail are all excellent!!

@@ You did what I love MOST when it comes to flower photography, you got different angles!!
You got from the side, below etc. And that is what makes your shots stand out from others!
This is because we always see flowers from above, and never from the "ants" perspective. Excellent job!!


I just got a photo idea from this..."An Ants Life" is the title...I'm going to wait for this snow to melt and go attempt it!!

I really like the first and last photos

I will admit the pros in this forum have inspired me a LOT and all the advice you guys give me, or even give to others, I read them all!!!
I'm using the same Canon PowerShot A570 IS, which is my first digital camera ever and I love the results it gives me...
I almost feel guilty towards my much better professional 35 mm Canon camera I have cause I doN,t use it anymore..... digital is so practical and CHEAP!!!

I didn't do much about lighting, only natural from sun covered by grey clouds....
My pants were wet from sitting on the wet grass to get lower and try different angles... but I was so happy with the results

The bigger challenge was to get the stems focused, I had to try many times pushing lightly that button before taking the picture, and the wind didn't help at all....

Very nice Marie!!!! I have to say I don't know much on photography but the third picture down is my fav ( the one that looks black and white in the background) Good job though!!

Neat, Im an art minor so I have been learning some photography so I can take pictures to draw and paint. I have a nice camera but you have the macro thing down way better than my attempts

This one was my favourite as well! Although I'm not a huge fan of flower photos, these are good Marie!

nice pictures marie and good focus
i like to bottom few

I really like them. The first one is the best. Like Blackrose said you have really been doing a good job and listened to the things we have said.
