Hanging on..

Every photo I take, I should learn something. This is trying to use macro but wanted a black background. One camera eventually obliged. Maybe good on the Black…
A tiny rhododendron that has been inside too long in a vase. I was intrigued with this floret which still had its wits about it!

What I’m thankful for:
1. Got two bottles (glass) of the full and fresh milk today - a photo will follow together with a comment on the flavour!
2. I’m a great believer in natural foods - milk has all the components to help absorb all the good minerals and vitamins within milk .. for instance. Eggs are the same.
3. The AA came out to start our motor caravan and was very successful! Now… how long do I allow before asking John to turn the motor off? A really apt statement I saw recently is:
“If a man says he will fix it, he will! There is no reason to remind him every six months!”

you definitely got your black background and what a successful macro this is. well persevered.

[Kathleen]

Very successful Macro - It is really difficult to get a great shot - you did good!

[Pat Knowles]

Ha ha all the words a dairy farmer likes to hear maggie! I haven’t had full cream milk as we call it in ages...I buy the semi skimmed variety, we don’t like the full one in our tea but love it on our cereal! Very true re #3 GT but it’s hard not to!
Amazing macro of this rhododendron but it’s the black background I love! Makes things stand out so well.

@happypat The real full cream option in milk is difficult to keep - the cream stays on the top and you get lumps in your tea. However this one I think must be homogenised.

[Linda Godwin]

you have accomplished your goals here and the rhodie is focused throughout

[Debra]

Very nice macro

[amyK]

Great macro and super on black

[Daisy Miller]

Cool macro shot.

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a super macro - really stands out on the black background , and even more spectacular if viewed on black -- just like it floats in space ! Had to smile at your no 3 !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl I had to take an HDR shot at this and stick them together to get the better focus, Beryl.

[gloria jones]

Nice pov and black background

[Valerie Chesney]

Gorgeous, so delicate & lacy..

[Marnie]

Very striking.

[Diana]

Lovely macro.

[Brennie B]

Really fab!. You put me to shame with your creativity..I must try more!

[Maggiemae]

@brennieb Only try if you have the energy, Brennie! Somedays all you can think is a photo of your feet!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@maggiemae Just read your reply to Brennie-- so true and I like the way you put it - ha !!

[Maggiemae]

@beryl In our time and age, Beryl we should aim to put our best foot forward only - it you have a best foot! Sink back into self awareness and nothing else if that suits!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@maggiemae Too true ! :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Superb capture and exceptionally beautiful over the black background

[Maggiemae]

@sangwann Thank you Dione - I do appreciate the word, "exceptional"!!

[haskar]

Great textures.

[Margo Sayer]

VM agree that 'timely reminders' from the distaff have little or no effect in realising a task. What you say reminds me of the old adage 'Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can, found seldom in a women and never in a man'

[Margaret Brown]

Wonderful details and clarity, fav

[Casablanca]

It's like it is headed into outer space!

[FBailey]

Love it on black

[Linda]

Nicely done.
