New toys Explore the Garden

Just got one of my new lenses (thanks to an ebay auction) and have been experimenting with the macros setting. The lens is a 28mm - 80mm with Macro settings at the 80mm setting. I shot all these shots late in the evening - 7:30 to 8:15 and used the built in flash. Some of the blasted out ones seemed pretty interesting as well, so they are here too. Roses provide some really interesting texture and form when photographed closeup.

The color and light variations are very interesting. These seem very sensual and remind me of some of Georgia O'keefe's work. The original images, straight out of camera, are huge, filling up a 19" monitor and the abstract quality of seeing the rose closeup is even more exxagerated. The smaller sizes presented here don't all have that feeling but there are a couple that come close.
