    Orange Flower

    I shot this with my 14-54mm and the EX-25 tube. What do you think?

    Great DOF and 3d effect greg. Maybe a little selective dodge tool here and there on the left hand side. A little dark. Nice work.
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    Totally agree with Rod.
    I like how you even got the big, farthest right petal in sharp focus.
    Keep Shooting!

    I know that I am not a flower or anything close but that is sexy!
    No, I DON'T need that.

    I commented on your flickr stream, but I like this shot. Nice composition and colors, just needs a little lightening (for me anyway).

    Nice twist, the off-centerness. Yeah, could be lighter. Also wish more was in focus, but such is life in the macro world.

    Greg, At first I thought it was a macro, then the OP and you used ext tubes...I bought a set of them, but have not figured them out..You obviously have. Great job.

    Re: Orange Flower

    Good composition but too dark for my liking, either light shining through the petals or a light source in front.

    Very nice. I do like tulips, they are my fav. flower.

    Re: Orange Flower

    i think it would look more attractive if you didn't crop the whole image. but i like how you focused on the its center part. the color still amazes and captures my eyes!! i love its colors and it looks so healthy!
    Strike a pose and smile...I enjoy capturing great moments...
