Really like the processing on this one, doc. Great abstract image!

Firewheel (aka Indian Blanket). I'm trying to learn how to photograph flowers and thought I would try black backgrounds.

Very nicely done, Mike.

Pasque flower, also known as the prairie crocus (not a true crocus, though, actually a type of anemone)

Pulsatilla vulgaris.
Where were they photographed? The ones (European) I know are usually much darker. I posted some pictures on "199"

They were photographed at our local reservoir.

I know I'm very late responding, but the bug looks to me like a nymph of an assassin bug or some other true bug. I thik it is predatory, based on the long mouthparts. Nice photo!

Thanks for the information. Doing an image search for 'assassin bug nymph' reveals that you just might be right.

Very nice...thanks again.

Only these from today but the first two are endemic to Hawaii: Hawaiian Cotton and Jacquemontia sandwicensis (pa'u-o-Hi'iaka). Sorry for the name of the second photo but this plant has no easier name! The third photo - I have no idea but definitely not an endemic.

Nice! Beautiful on this dark Background.

Thanks, Clicl! This is how the sun spotted the blossom through the branches.

Another one but a more advanced technique:
focus stack of 28 pictures @ f/4
R5 and RF100 2.8L

Nigella damascena



Wikipedia tells me this is called love-in-a-mist or devil in the bush. A little bit differnt.

This one is also "love-in-a-mist" (Passiflora foetida). Fruit and flower. Pretty common here...
