Anthers

[jrice12]

Canon 550D with 100mm/f2.8 Macro USM lens.

I've always felt anther shots are about the background.

First is my fav.
Second was a kind of test of the lens, result: it is a lot better than I am!
Third, Stigma and anther were placed in same focal plane, everything else fell where it did.
Fourth, Out of a turbulent sea of orange into the calm of black the anthers rise!
