Man, this one really pops, Rick! Great color and lighting, and the black background makes it jump off of the screen. :toast:

I like the dark bg, Rick and the exposure of the flower looks right on. While the larger stem and bit of cobweb are interesting, I think you might have a stronger composition if you crop just above the joint.

Rick:

This is really well done. I see this all the time but find this difficult to compose as the whole head would be covered with the long filamentous structures. It is nice to see this partial bloom with buds. :toast:

This really pops against the dark BG. It's interesting how the long filaments end in yellow dots. I think that adds much to the composition and the palette. I echo the comment about a crop above the joint.

A little like a flower firework display with this Mimosa against the black BG !

Rick: Haven't seen so many mimosa images as I have this year. Really nice capture and use of your long lens rig. BTW, do you get any AF with the 2x aboard? I'm really coveting the 70-400 so would appreciate any feedback you might give me on it. >=))>
