I am jealous, i have yet to attain a macro lense!! This is a wonderful success for a practice shot. Sumptious and wonderful form, very well done D.

@maxine: Thanks Max I guess one of the advantages of a point and shoot is not having to buy different lenses. Its probably the only advantage

Brilliant J, great practice macro shot! Coincidentally I was out practicing my macro yesterday:-)) The curves on the petals are just divine! Well done you:-))

@Linerberry: Thanks C a bit of cropping helps as well I've found out.
@Cia: Thanks Cia its is probably a bit pale but I guess that enhances the petals

@Kylie Greenan: Thanks Kylie I thought it would look better if it was more vibrant but all these great comments have convinced me that it is ok
@Veronelle: Merci beaucoup Veronelle
Terre Mavix Chartrand from Kitchener, Canada
The lighting increases the delicate appearance of the rose. The cropping to a more square shape is a good way to bring the eye into the centre of the flower. This is a lovely macro.

That's very good! I love the creamy colours and wavy lines of the petals. You've got great detail here. Imagine what you could do with a dSLR!

A very good macro... your bridge is excellent too ! Since my first and expensive bridge (on march 2004) Camedia C-5060 WZ , I'm in love with Olympus quality.
