I think I might play around with this in PS a bit more - maybe put it against a white background. I'm pleased with the translucency of the petals and the composition (uncropped). Do click to the Flickr page to see it in full - I seem to lose some of the right hand side in here.

I'm not a big fan of spiders, but have to confess that this guy looks less scary close up and side-lit with a flashlight. Almost cuddly? (not)

Taken with 60mm macro lens, no tripod, lit with a flashlight on the side of my bathtub.

This is my iconic dog photo. This to me captures the moment of stopping at the top of a hike to admire the view both of the surroundings and of my dog happy in his element. Taken with my old Olympus Camedia digital point-and-shoot.

This was taken for the Victoria Grid Project group on Flickr. It was a blazingly beautiful day, and I like the bright colours of sky, roofs and water.

This is one of a series I took of this ladybird climbing around on my t-shirt and then on my chair.
