Here are some of my favourite flower pictures from last year. The 1st picture is of a Manitoba Crocus with my EF-S 18-135. The second is a water lily taken with my new toy for last year EF 100L macro.

Lovely shots, CapturingLight.

These just bloomed.
And the last one are unwanted guests, notice the juvenile, they are mobile. The adult bug was about 2-3 mm long. The shot is with 3 Kenko tubes and 100 mm L II.

I agree the 1st one has wonderful colour and framing.

For the bug shot is it taken with a crop camera or full frame, how close did you have to get while using the tubes, and is the picture cropped? I keep thinking of getting some tubes myself.

Thanks Click. Appreciate your comments.
Thanks CapturingLight. The full size photo is included here. I think the distance between the front of the lens and the leaf was about 4 to 6 inches. I really didn't pay attention to the exact space. I like the tubes, it helps to increase the apparent size of the objects I want to shoot. Since they're just tubes, photo quality is not affected. The Kenko tubes have built in electrical pass through, so focusing and aperture are preserved.
The bird of paradise plant was purchased in 2012 and this is the first flower we got, pretty excited. Just wish I could have witnessed (and shot) the progress of the blooming.

Very nicely done, Meywd. The whole flower being in focus with a dark background is stunning!

Spring cottonwood bluff on the banks of the Oldman River. Barren of leaves, but I like it anyway.
