Such fragile beauty

Very occasionally a wonderful photo presents itself as you walk out your front door. There's a hibiscus bush growning there, and when the sun is at just the right angle the results are ... superb. This photo was taken just outside the macro range. The Fuji 6500 is versatile enough to get right in on the flower without resorting to the macro and super-macro settings. This shot also it's cropped at all -- you're looking at the full frame. I adjusted it for brightess and contrast, otherwise you're seeing the shot just as it was taken. Photo by Jade, 2007.
