Nature in the suburbs.

#1 - Caterpillar on African Iris (Dietes-bicolor).

#2 - Honkey nuts with a zoom effect.

#3 - Callistemon waiting to bloom.

#4 - Bee in a Leucaena-leucocephala tree.

#5 - A pink "Dearest" rose poking through the fence in a neighbour's cottage garden.

#6 - No idea but it looked fabulous sitting in the morning sun.

Spot on shots Isac. I think the Calistamon has finished flowering for the season and they are the seed pods. I would think the last flower is an oriental Lily.

Cheers Hans, I wasn't sure about the callistemon so thanks for that. I think you're right about the lily too.

Nice set Isac. #2 and #6 are my picks here. The technique in #2 works really well on this subject.

Cheers Alan, glad you like. The lily was so timy - about 1cm diameter but it had great detail. The "zoom" effect is from an action I wrote so you can have a play if you like.
On my website HERE under "Fun Stuff".

I particularly like the 1,4 and 6 out of these but sadly the 2nd just not my thing.

Thanks for that Ralph. #2 is just p[laying with effects so it's not for everyone. I think it's great that in today's world, it has opened up great opportunities that allows you to turn a photograph into a digital artwork which was not possible in earlier times. I really enjoy the challenge that digital editing throws up and I love exploring the creative side to photography - it is endless. I know we are all different and have our likes and dislikes and the digital creativity we see today, I reckon is amazing.
