 Not really taken with my MF lens; waiting on getting my new lens added before I can fix that.

Anyway, hydrangea in the garden. I actually love how these look in winter. All year, really (they have lovely structure), but they're delicate and fragile looking this time of year.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, reduced highlights, clarity, resized, saved with sharpening.

Great photo! But macro just doesn't come to mind IMHO.

A lot of background and not much focal point. I would have cropped a little. But nice texture and subdued color.
