Pink cyclamen macro
Even though the focus is a little softer than I’d like, this image of pink cyclamens from a recent Garden Club district meeting flower show pleases me. It’s funny how challenging it can be to photograph something that is so beautiful, graceful and perfect in person, so full of life and freshness, and make it convey even a small amount of that liveliness. You’d think the camera would just record it, but no. Such is the challenge of a person who loves to take photos of flowers.
Do wander over to Shadow Shot Sunday 2, Macro Friday, Macro Monday, Macro Flowers Saturday, Today’s Flowers, Weekend Flowers, Floral Friday, Color Carnival and Pink Saturday for more photo fabulousness. And of course, if there is only one photo below, you can click on the Sara’s Fave Photos banner above to see the entire blog.

You can see the blending of the dark to light pink well. These are interesting blooms.

I agree, macros of flowers are not easy. I often end up spending a ridiculous amount of time on one flower, and have the most trouble trying to get the narrow field of focus just how I want it. I usually end up changing my mind about what I want and having to start all over with a different composition (more than once!) This is a very nice shot. I like how you included a jumble of blooms instead of narrowing in on a single bloom.
