 I love Gerberas, especially the archectural shape and form of the petals. Again, I have used my new Canon Macro 180mm lens. I love the soft pastel apricot color of this flower.

WHAT SUNSHINE YOU SPREAD THROUGH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, SHEZ! THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE AND BRIGHTEN PEOPLE'S LIVES LONG AFTER WE'RE BOTH GONE, I'M SURE!

THIS ONE IS STUNNING! THE SOFTNESS AND DOF... WOW! BRILLIANT!

Beautiful - a real sense of depth and movement here - the in focus parts are lovely then rest seems to be merely suggested

I like this shot with the petals arching toward the top of the frame. The color is absolutely beautiful - especially with that background.

Gerberas are indeed lovely, aren't they? I really like the composition here - nice arch of sharp petals complemented by that lovely background bokeh of peach, white, and dark green. Very nice. The triptych you put together of all three is quite lovely as well.

This is my favorite. I love the subtle curves of the individual petals, as well as the entire bloom. Lovely colors.

They are all pretty, but I think this one is my favorite. I like the curve of the petals.

all of them are very pretty. I like how you have selected to go from the back of the lower rather than the front. This one is my favorite because of the composition. It really leads your eye through the picture and gives the flower graceful stature.

Well done concerning the DOF here. I think the soft focus really adds to the shot, it gives it a warm, inviting feel. Nice work!

This is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are very soothing and the composition is engaging. How would it translate in bw?

ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I don't like any one of them better than the other, because each one I look at is better than the last -- no matter how many times I go thru them :)
