- Little Alien eyes...!!! - - Just John -
- haha.... yes i see them too, and they say flora macros can look a little alien like! hehe :))
Love in the Mist... Flickrized!
These little flowers are sooo much fun to shoot. I loved how this one looked through my lens with the purple and pink surfinias in the background. The spikey foliage that surrounds these dainty little flowers really add sooo much depth.

Oh my! I had to double take for a second and check this wasn't computer generated or something. Amazing. Simply amazing.
Reiffhaus (Steppin It Up!!) (42 months ago | reply)
Wow Lisa love the colors...and the depth is just perfect!!

Heya Natalie, Thank you so much for your kind words!... It does look
that way doesnt it?? I think the flourescent setting is what gave it a
more exaggerated look, but... Nothing more was done to it other than
converted to jpeg in zoomy...
Your reaction made me smile!

WHOA!! This is officially the best shot I've ever seen you post and I've seen some real winners from you.
This is just amazing! When I saw it in my thumbnails list I went straight to it. This has got to make Explore...this should be seen by all.
Oh and PLEASE submit this to Merzeta!!

This is absolutely amazing. It looks almose surreal...., like something out of a Science Fiction Movie. I can just about see the 'sparks' running up and down the little paths.
This should be Front Page for the rest of the year....!!!
EDIT...
I tried to Fave this again and again...., but it didn't let me....!!!!
Well, just to let you know it has been Faved a trillion times just from me.
Love it....
ohsleepless1! (42 months ago | reply)
Thank You, John... you make me smile... LOTS! I loved this image too
when i first saw it... Posted it to my old stream and it got pretty
high in explore... never really understood that explore thing, but i
know that this one was well received... I wasnt going to post any of my
old stuff, but in some ways im now glad i have, otherwise my new peeps
would never have had the chance to see it...
Thank YOU, kind Sir!

Yes, this was a favourite of mine the first time 'round. There's a real depth to it, the colours are sublime and it looks so out-of-this-world.
