Oh my gosh! It's waving at me!

Trying to learn working with a flash on the macro lens. These are late blooming begonias, but then again, it's been in the mid-70s here in North Texas. I'll add some more below in a bit.
Sigma 105mm DG Macro HSM OS and Godox TT685 Mk II.

I didn't press my luck. The Fae have a habit of playing nasty tricks on us humans...

Thank you! They are fantastically pleasant flowers that shouldn't be blooming in December, but there you have it...

Wow! You got the focus right on the end of the stamen and the dof looks great. Nice shootin', Tex! That set deserves a nice, cold Shiner.

Thanks! The flash really helped.
I'll have a nice cold , but it'll be a New Belgium Trippel rather than a Shiner. Not a fan of most US mass produced beers.

I like both of these, but especially #2.

Nominated for POTM!
