Recent Macro's

After a full week of rain it was actually a beautiful day here last Saturday but the rain is forecast to return Sunday and stay around for most of next week. So in an attempt to make the most of this glorious day I grabbed my D300s and threw on the Sigma 150mm macro and then headed to the local nature park for the first time this season. Here are a few of my favorites from today's outing.

Anyway, number two is my favourite. When I saw that the leaf is somewhat supporten by that little branch, that leveled the image up! I must admit number 4 doesn't give me much, I feel I've seen it before. As for 7, did you mean to focus on the pinkish petals or the little "soon to be" flower?

Great shots!

Compaq thanks for your comments they are appreciated as for shot # 7 I was focused on the unopened bud in the foreground
