Wonderful macro. I love the rich, gentle colours and the great DOF. It is quite lovely and draws me right into the peacefulness of the middle of the bloom. It's good to see your work highlighted on the Home Page. Congratulations on Sc. I wish you well with your break. I am really late in getting to your pictures, so you have been on your break for a while now. You know I wish you all the very best.

Hi, Ray -

I suppose comments are superfluous, given the accolade represented by the award. Just to say it was thoroughly deserved and followed on from a sequence of very effective macros you posted.

Best wishes,

Dear Ray!
I just recognise your decision to make a break from UF. It is truly a kind of chock! Nevertheless I am sure it has to be a serious reason, I suppose and I count to see you again in a little while. I could not get much through your about in UF what did happen to make you this conclusion, however it is my tremendous desire to hear from you as soon as possible.
Wish you luck and healthy: Maxime

It is really nice to observe UF’ administration can also select a well deserved picture for award! Congregation dear Ray! It is a praiseworthy indeed!
It is a perfect image with marvellous details and eye-catching colours. It is going to my favourite-collections without hesitation. My best complement for the idea and composing.

Best regards: Maxime

First of all my congratulations to you...
Forgive me for my long absence, but i do truly miss you and the rest of my friends here at UF.
No wonder I felt like visiting UF, because I just have to see this wonderful masterpiece from you...Wow, really great macro shot, now i really want to get a macro lens too.. I envy what you see..
Beautiful center composition, if there's one reason why a photographer should put the subject in the center, this is one good example.IMHO
What a beautiful square format composition, the complimentary color combination and especially the clarity, really deserving of the award.
I was very excited, i just have to comment right away... congrats Ray! Big cheers!

Well Ray, I'm not sure what has happened to make you pull away, but I'm sure it must be serious or you would not have made such a drastic decision. It saddens me to think someone would injure such a kind and gentle soul. I hope you sort this out and return quickly...your true friends will miss you dearly!
Take care...Robin

Ohhh my God! Another great example for the perfect
close up with excellent minimal DoF! Such a purple
tonal range with fine tiny details. Absolutely perfect
floral composition, great crop and well seen! Another
perfect photograph from you my friend. My friend I saved
my favourits, because this one is a lovely compo and
very impressive image for me. Thans for your great
sharing! Take it up!

Have a nice day dear Ray!
Robert

Spoiled indeed! I was shocked to see FOUR . . . and the added attachment bonuses too. I love this one . . . the attachment, while nice, has a much softer and narrower DOF it seems and is nice in its own way. But the color and composition on this posting make it seem otherworldly . . . and it's absolutely beautiful. The spot-on focus on the stamens and interlacing pistils are so very cool!!
Very well done and I could get used to being spoiled this way very easily.
All the best!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Excellent macro, Ray! I like the way the stamen and pistil seem to be swimming up from the depths of the purple flower. Both shots very well done!
