Floral shots don't get any better than this. They can have more colours, more post-processing gimmicks, but this perfectly framed subtle combination of elegance and fragility is a winner.

Dear Nicole!
Very nice macro. And so hard to get that kind of clear details. White Balancing completely perfect. I am a Nikon believer but after this macro and your shots with Canon I start to think Nikons cameras has a problem in their W/B software. Colors are "comme il faut" and smooth.
What you imagine about this subject because I need to buy new camera. I never use a Canon. I have intention to buy this brand.
Warm Hugs.
ALI
