They are all beautiful George, but my favourites are the seed head, the poppy and the white iris.
I am not trying to detract from your photography George, because whatever you display, it seem to be so sharp and well exposed but I do think the light in these warm countries helps with the vibrancy of colour.

Thanks Audrey,
Of course the intense sunshine helps and boosts vibrancy. I didn't claim the opposite. Actually, I've seen vibrant shots from all users here at DPNow myself.
This collection is superb - I really like the way the blooms just burst on to or even out of the screen.
Martin
Thanks Martin for commenting and liking the shots.
Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons and especially Spring with all these flower smells around.
I dont know what you do, but I do like the vibrance you capture in your images. I think its the light you have in your part of the world.
Nice shots
Mike,
I don't really do anything with the vibrancy. It is just the intense bright sunshine in these photos. The only thing I do is that I position the camera differently according to where the light is coming from an of how intense it is.
I like them all! Not doing too well with flower shots with my Canon, but I'm practising.
My favourites are the first poppy and the dandelion, which so delicate

I would like to write something but I don't want to be misunderstood like playing smart or anything else. Though I see that you have the will and like to practice towards the better, so I will tell you this in a metaphoric somehow way (that you probably already know part or all of it).
Photography: Is a Greek synthetic word (fos + grafi)
fos in Greek means "Light"
grafi in Greek means "Writing"
Photography means "writting with light"
The more appropriate you use the light to write, the better you will write
The most important thing in photography is to use the light appropriately (whatever that is, natural or artificial, intense or weak) each time according to your theme and the all the rest like framing, zooming, e.t.c are of less importance.
Please, don't misunderstand my intentions of writing this. It is totally friendly and not in a way of playing "Expert".
'Gert' is a personal nickname of my husband - an oblique reference to a quote from Hamlet.
Tinka is NOT my husband - nor does he go by the same nickname as my husband, as far as I know.
My husband does not post in these forums - so he would be most grateful if you would stop applying his nickname to others, thus giving the impression he does.

I thought Tinka's real name is Gert, like Archangel's is George. That is all Pol. All the rest are your assumptions.
Besides that, I don't know your husband, his name or his nickname to refer to, as he never posted in these forums as you say and I'm surprised how could you imagine such thing.

Hi George and Tinka
Sorry I didn't reply yesterday - was out celebrating a pay rise (not mine, unfortunately).
Absolutely no offence taken George, as Tinka has said, knowledge is for sharing and you've phrased it absolutely right!
And finally, efcharisto and kalinichta - sorry, a little out of practice, long time since I did a course in Greek!

Caz,
While it might have been long time ago since you did a course in Greek, I must admit that you remember Greek very well
The only thing remains is to practice your Greek in some Greek island the summertime along with your camera

Take care Caz.

Funny you should say that George - I was going to post some of the flowers I took in Crete at the end of last month. Went on a last minute holiday - booked on the Saturday lunchtime, flew Monday morning.
However, when I saw your photos I thought 'what's the point' as yours as so much better. Still, I'll now post them in critique, and you can tell me what you think of mine.

Didn't know that Caz. Next time you get to Greece, if you come in Athens, I will be glad to take you around for snapping
I usually take flower shots for my wife mostly as she likes flowers a lot. There were a few times though, that I was impressed by some flowers myself too and snapped them.
It doesn't matter how my photos look. They would look somehow anyway. That is not a reason not to post yours. If you do have some issues with your camera's macro we can discuss that if you wish. I will pm you for that later
