Hey guys

Since you are so awesome in macro shot and all that stuff with color enhancing and what not... is there a change you could do me a huge favor?
I wrote earlier in my "leisure time" thread that I enjoy painting... well I am thinking about painting a flower or bouquet in a vase with beautiful colors and texture. But my imagination is lacking at the moment. So my question is, could you please try to impress me with a picture of (a) flower(s)? I would be forever thankfull! And of course I would post a picture of the painting when it's done!
Thanks for anybody who's willing to give it a shot!

Mireyna

Who could refuse a request from you Mireyna, although we don't get many flowers around here, I'll see what I can do.

I've just had a thought, Chip alias slrdude used to post quite a few pictures of flowers, maybe a quick PM to him could bring results.

I found these on my computer, I hope they are suitable.

That's about the best I could do Mireyna. All of the flowers have died off this time of year around here.

Here are some from today. The bright red one is from a pomegranate, the others are anybodies guess. The last two are the size of a pin head.

Here's a few more I did not have time to upload yesterday.

I think this is a violet carpenter bee.

This tiny butterfly is a grass jewel. It can't be bigger than 1/4 inch.

To put things in perspective, here's a picture of the flower the butterfly is on, being held between my finger and thumb.

Here's another butterfly picture from the archives.

OK, this is the one I've just started on...

It's harder than I had imagined

But we'll see what the result will be when it's ready.....

Thanks again for the pics!
