POTW 7 August 2012

Postby aim54x on Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:58 am

I was trying to avoid doing this....but Gerry has posted a last minute stunner that I couldn't not pick. The rich reds, the focus stacking and the awesome eye that placed the flower in the water droplet...simply stunning!!

It was spotted here:

Well done Gerry. Fantastic image and with this image and those focus stacked images from Rodney and Greg I feel the urge to indulge myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

Gerry

Work has seen me absent for some months and now I'm back I generally look at, but don't comment on, past POTWs, but I must say this is a cracker image and amongst the finest I've seen from you.
