Crocosmia 'Jackanapes'

[Bilbo_baggin]

In an ongoing effort to get to grips with macro photography (and I still maintain its amongst the steepest of learning curves for photographers of limited skill (ahem, me)) I look to flowers and insects.

This time, it's a flower.

Commonly known as "Montbretia" the 'crocosmia 'jackanapes' are growing on a county lane just around the corner from my house, though many gardens have them, mine doesn't.


I have not done anything with the colour or saturation on these two shots, only tweaked exposure, levels and sharpened the stamens.

C&C as always appreciated.

prefer the second one as you can see what the rest of the flower looks like. good effort though - love a good macro!

brilliant second one especially,

Liking the first one better, focus is spot on in the right place with a great depth of field.
Composition of the second is a little disapointing. But a good shot none the less.
