Very nice colours, especially on the first one. It would be interesting to know which lens you used and aperture etc .... I'm assuming you were handholding the camera? You've got nice and close to these lovely specimens. You must get out and do some gardening more often

Thanks for the technical data there - those settings have worked well. Looking forward to seeing some more close ups from the garden soon ...

Excellent Sir. . No.2 (montbretia} being my fave. I like the 'misty' feel of the geranium (no3).
The nice thing about shooting in your own garden is the almost 'instant review' available.
