Ahhh — the colors of springtime!

On an out of the way bush in the Japanese garden behind the building which holds my department's offices... (With all three close-up filters: +1, +2 and +4.)

Terrific focus of a beautiful flower. What a lovely way to brighten your day!

[Lindsey B]

So pretty! It looks like a watercolour painting.

[Wendy]

Beautiful flower and the focus is great!

[Lori Rompolski]

this, my friend, is gorgeous! Bravo.

@jendee3 @sharkeyshark @exposure4u @loriromp Thank you so, so much!! Focus was a problem because of the narrow range with the close up filters combined with the wind. Eventually gave up on AF and went manual.
@sharkeyshark Some paintings look like photographs and this photo looks like a painting -- "art imitating art imitating art," perhaps?

[Lisa de Jong]
