Comment from Jewell McChesney
Wow, Bob, this is excellent. Thank you for explaining your process for this outcome. I have never heard of an extension tube to use in photography.
But the outcome is excellent.
Great title and close up image.

Hey Jewell, Not surprised. Extension Tubes aren't used much these days. There handy to extend the reach of a long lens when the subject is far away. They are not a lens. They are camera brand specific. Draw back; The longer the distance from the front of the lens to the camera sensor the longer the exposure time.

Thank you for the fine review and outstanding six rating! ... Bob

This is an absolutely beautiful photo! Look at that design on the top petal!! It's gorgeous. And the vibrant colors and the shadows. It's perfect. I love it. Great job!

Hi Sarah, That design makes one heck of a back drop, don't it? I have never seen that (I guess you could call it a stain) as bold and contrasty as this crimson. Thank you so very much for your kind words and great rating. I am glad you liked the post ... Bob
