    #2 definitely. I guess I'm just an abstract junkie, so #2 is more to my tastes. They're all great shots. Nicely saturated, sharp.

    They are all excellent shots. I especially like the close up and also the transmitted light and well handled background of the third.

    They're all fantastic captures, but I like the first and the second shots. Very sharp and focus.

    They're all good shots, but the second one stands out for me. Nicely done

    I like #2 for a different reason - the little ant that wanted to get into the picture. ;)

    Re: Three Perspectives

    Thanks to all those that have taken time to comment on these images. It seem that #2 the close up has an edge over the other two at this time. It's kind of funny because I was not sure if I would include that one or not. Glad I did. All were taken with a 105mm macro, but with a little help. The two of the full bloom were with a +1 closeup filter/lens and the #2 was with a +4 filter. I just remembered I had them. I used them a lot with my manuel cameras when most of my lens were 52mm. The 105mm is also a 52mm filter mount and they seem to work perfectly with it and the AF. They do limit your working distance somewhat, but give that little extra magnification that I was after.
