  Jesse. Thanks for your comment. I visited your blog and was amazed by what you are doing. You’re not just looking for beauty but are working to create it. Your garden looks amazing.

Really like the glow you got down in the depths of the flower. Makes it look three dimensional.

  Thanks. I’ve gone on a tangent recently going for macro shots of insects. Sometimes I think I need to step back (literally and figuratively) and think more about some basic things, like the effects of light. I think it’ll do a lot to improve my shots.

    Dunno – looks to me like you’ve got the basics handled pretty well. With that it’s usually just practice, practice, practice.
