of a Turk's Cap bloom. These are popular with the butterflies and hummingbirds around here, and they hold up to the Texas summer heat.

We call them Caped Hibiscus here and our blooms hang down. Nice shot!

Rich red with subdued light - very cool, my friend.

Very Nice captain ToddK!

Beautiful when you can ISO100 them, huh?

Velvety rich red flower against the blurred green background. What's not to love. Well done.

Thanks LightSpeed! I obviously must have felt pretty steady that day at 1/30 sec with the big Irix Dragonfly.

I didn't realize that you used an Irix. That is a real nice macro lens.

I love it! I always wanted a longer macro lens than the DFA 100mm, but the older Pentax 200mm lenses are really hard to find and very pricey.

I was just thinking the subject had to be a type of Hibiscus. Very lovely image and I can see why you really like that photo gear set up. Well executed capture.
