This shot started with a head of decorative cabbage that was stuffed into a flower bouquet. I had to wait a few minutes for my placed blue drops to merge.
No lens flare, recoloring or other Photoshop effect used.
I strolled to a favourite and almost secluded place then just sat listening to nothing, it was beautiful
Between light and shadow, the flower reveals an intimate geography of forms.
The stamens, dusted with pollen, draw tiny constellations, suspended between the silence of the petal and the air that surrounds them.
Each grain seems to hold a fragment of time, a breath of nature woven into the delicate texture of the filaments.
A black-and-white macro portrait of a hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), where the sharp contrast between the pistil and the background enhances the elegant structure and the intricate texture of the pollen.
Captured with a Nikon D600 and AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens, in soft natural light.

Geometria segreta di un fiore
Tra luce e ombra, il fiore svela una geografia intima di forme.
Gli stami, punteggiati di polline, disegnano costellazioni minuscole, sospese tra il silenzio del petalo e l’aria che le avvolge.
Ogni granello sembra trattenere un frammento di tempo, un respiro della natura avvolto nella trama sottile dei filamenti.

This is the interior ring of a sunflower. My goal was show the texture at the end of each stamen as the primary focus of the shot. Normally, this can be done using a cooler light to draw out detail. But that would take away the rich color of the flower. So I used a few light sources in different locations running different color temps. Pretty happy with the result. Amazing what is found inside a sunflower. The geometry and detail is striking.
I rarely use Photoshop other than to adjust exposure in the RAW editor. No recoloring, painting, cloning, or anything else was used in this pic. The flower is beautiful and interesting enough to stand on its own.
It felt like she saw me first. Not just another flower, but something quietly proud of its softness. I stood there with the camera, caught a little off guard—like I’d just been smiled at unexpectedly. There’s a boldness in gentleness if you let yourself notice it.
Macrophotography is such a mediative practice. For me, it is a time to be deliberate with my photography. I am not in a hurry and there is no action shot that I must take.

One can often smell this tree before seeing it, the perfume is heady and (I think), really lovely.

Hairs are standing up from fear. Backlit flower from the back. Low light in the front, Intense light in the back, and a slow shutter.
I got this shot after fishing at a high elevation lake in the Rocky Mountains. I believe this is called a Queens Crown wildflower. The official name is Rhodiola rhodantha and it grows in alpine and subalpine meadows and wetlands.
Waiting to get my trailer unloaded, noticed some flowering weeds nearby, thought they were kinda pretty. Some little wild things. A very overcast morning, so I thought an overcast feel would be appropriate this morning.
Zantedeschia aethiopica, commonly known as calla lily and arum lily, is a species in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa in Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland.
Although not considered true lilies, the calla lily is an extraordinary flower. This beautiful plant, available in a multitude of colors, grows from rhizomes.
