 I am in love with my macro close up shots of this peach/pink pastel colored Gerbera.

I really love the colors and the detail of the wonderful pastel textures, in the center of this flower.

Post comment; I was disappointed in the way some people felt this was to pale, but the flower was very pale in color and a pastel light flush pink. I was happy with it so thats all that matters.

Hi Shez - I love how soft and pretty this looks. Makes you want to touch it and see what it feels like. Beautiful color!

Seems to have a visible amount of pixelation. Could be because of so much detail into 640 pixels, and lots of compression was needed..

Try a slightly wider crop and a little bit more saturation.
