Beautiful, creamy colors. In fact, so creamy that i almost wanna add a bit of this in my coffee. Also, the black background works really nicely here.

EM, I try to view most of your photos of flowers, but it appears since your K-5 purchase they have become more of a creamy or softer appeal to them. The new camera seems to be bringing out more of the beauty, have you noticed the change and happy with the purchase.

Actually, if you drop a frangipanni flower, it will "helicopter" to the ground nicely. So they do work like propellors.

Not only does the camera bring out more of the beauty of the flower it tends to make handling the Reds, Whites and Yellows a lot easier.

No extension tubes used, just the Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro. I bought a set of 3 Kenko Extension Tubes quite awhile back but I rarely use them.
