I agree with Valery. Nicely composed.

Not quite in the same league of Yildiz, but with Vivitar 90MM MD mount lens. Circa 2009 and you can see my amateur effort.

Thank you, Valery. :) You're very kind and I appreciate your critical eyes.

JBTaylor, thank you. The wonder is you and in you! :) You always took good photos yourself and there was always much to observe in your photography skill. Not forgetting the epic 135 mm that's more epic in your hands!

Wow! Those details are incredible, Sury.
:) Not that amateurish but you composed some a little too tight in my opinion, probably because you were trying the strengths and weaknesses of the lenses since you don't mention the camera model. Was it A100 or A700 or something like that.

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

These 3 are taken with a MD 58f1.4 reverse mounted on A700 with MD/MA adapter with no glass and on camera flash, hand held shots..
Circa 2010. Hmm. May be I should search for those reverse mount adapters and try some. May be it is time to use my A77M2.

Sury;
I know you're trying out lenses, cameras and all sorts of filters and equipment while you are shooting these photos but I enjoy them for their intricate details - the fine details of the flowers are almost an other micro 'cosmos' that we usually overlook had there not been macro shooting.

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Sony A100

I was shooting Agapanthus seed pods on that day. The seed pod clusters are just as interesting as the flower clusters for me ... :)

Interesting close you Yildiz. I should try when they start to blossom.
