Ooh Swiss. I like that! k:

I can almost imagine that I am really tiny, and walking through those flowers.

Can you perhaps take a shot of the interior? It can be a water lilly or a marigold, I'd need to see a picture of the leaves and specially the internal structures.

You're a biologist, aren't you? LOL The stem doesn't look like it could be a water lily, though, and the flower right next to it certainly won't grow in ponds. So it's probably a marigold.[/b][/quote]


Well... I did study biology for a while, and gardening is a hobbie of mine.

The stem does seem a bit short, and lillies usually have a quadrupule form, but I'm puzzled by those petal endings.

All this fancy talk is scarring me..... And ya, good job swiss!!

Oh yeah, nice shots k:

I just found out that the flower doesn't bloom (?) anymore ... Sorry so we probably won't find out what kind it is until there will be flowers again ...

Here is some other pieces of my nature-photography:

1) a bumble bee


2) same one but larger ...


3) my desktop background at work



BTW: My cam is a Sony P 200 - nothing more ... So go out everyone and discover nature !

Nice swiss! You have a weird fascination with spiders......

I hate them (shudder) but you capture them very well! k:

I'm starting to think we should have a "name that flower" thread

[swiss]

Actually I hate spiders !
The only thing that makes me photograph them is that "fascination of disgust" (?) and curiosity on how they look in detail ...

I think it's much more interesting to photograph creeping objects instead of just flowers or people ... (And mostly I say that 'coz I can't do any other photography than flowers and insects :whistle: ) ...

The first Bumble-bee has a really nice composition. I like it, Swiss k:

That's a nice idea Indi.

Swiss could show us just part of a flower, or even a bitmap \ black & white photo of a flower, and we have to guess what it is. k:

OK, here is my newest creation ... and if you like - name this flower : (it's too easy ... next thing will be hard ...)
