A small aster

A small aster was shining with the blue outline of the light near by.
the picture is taken with a near view without zoom, I used twilight portrait to take this image as it was dark and used flash also.
I tried to take the flower picture mostly with macro and zoomed ones. but every picture i tried to highlight different parts of the flower, hoping it give a nicer look... ....

The Pollens ...

All the flower do have a lots of attractive spots. just have to give color to our imaginations... in this picture i found the pollens and the tiny stems of the pollens are very attractive... just trying to zoom them. the pollen powder which fell on the silky pink petals are giving a good look i feel.............

Yellow Yellow..........

This Yellow rose is taken on a cloudy day. the color is looking brighter because of dodge effect.

Peach........

The combination of Peach colored rose and Green leaves is nice and took the image using Manual mode. focus is on the flower and background is looking blur.

Red Rose

This is the Picture of same rose which is bellow this image and it has been taken after a couple of days... without the macro effects

Lovely red

This red rose picture is taken just after rain and trying to zoom the middle folding of the petals. I heard it is good to use Macro effects while doing photography of Flower and trying to use the effect in this picture

Winter buds

This rose picture is taken on a cloudy day without flash. use of Macro is giving it a closed focus.... The main focus was being on the middle of the stem to Highlight the reddish shoots of new leaves and buds together.
