Azalea bud extreme close up!!

Just fooling around in the yard. When this blooms, look out!

Taken with the manual Olympus 90mm macro + 25mm extension tube on the E-30.

Nice detail and sharpness! look at all the potential :)

I like it the way it is, nice colours.

Interesting shot. Nicely done.

Very nice....I like...and bonus points b/c it does not remind me of mouthwash! :laughing: ;)

It looks like an eye trying to peek through the end of the bud! I love the little details and textures, especially the little dots all over the leaves. And the colors are beautiful.

Thanks everyone. Trying to find just the right configuration of bud, leaves and background paid off. : )

All been said above. Nice work.

works very well for me
