Used a Reverse ring on a 50mm lens and extension tubes on these photos. I used a tripod and focus rails.

4. Thanks. It was a perfect low wind day. The plants stayed in one place, most of the time.

to learn from her.

13. These are spectacular, Alfredo.

My favorite is the first. Second is the second. Now that I look some more, I'm not sure about that second place. But boy, do I love the first one.
I would like it even better, I think, if you looked at cropping off the bottom light blue part completely, and re-structured the dimensions by taking a bit off the left.
The reason is personal, I think then we would have what I adore: Modern Art completely taken from nature and leaving behind it's origin while singing on its own.
Does that make any sense?

14. Yes it does make sense. The bottom one could be cropped too.
