Spotlight on a rhodo

Another way of achieving macro shots! This is several rhododendrons picked from the garden to enjoy with you and with us!

[Kathleen]

Really nice shot Maggie - great idea and I love the colors.

[Gillian]

Nice idea, Maggie. Somehow I think the ones outside the glass are clearer? Or do I need to visit my optometrist?

[Chris]

beautiful idea Maggiemae!

[Harry J Benson]

great idea and presentation - a fav

[Roberta Clark Chalmers]

Super idea and shot!

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver I think, perhaps, Gillian that the colour is muted behind the glass!

[Maggiemae]

@hjbenson Thank you Harry for your complimentary remarks!

[Gillian]

@maggiemae Yep, I think you're right. Nice idea though :)

Beautiful shot and a great idea. Who knew a magnifying glass could provide such a clear image? And it's much cheaper than a macro!

[Maggiemae]

@catwoman2 Thanks Mary for that fav! It took a bit of focusing and the magnifying glass reflected me a lot of the time - delete - delete!
