September 2009 - one of my first adventures in DSLR and DNG photography. Used the Pentax 'kit' 18-55mm WR zoom lens, at its longest (and weakest) setting - I consider the lack of aggressive sharpness to be an asset here. In processing this JPEG, I have tried to keep the reds under control and to keep some modelling in the petals. The title? The 'older' flower seems to be watching the young buds in a parental fashion, as they venture out into the world!

SMC Pentax DA 1:4.5-5.6 50-200mm ED WR lens. Reds 'controlled' using Silkypix software.
