This lacks the rich color and great bug of Robert's hibiscus, but the structure in these flowers is interesting.

Amazingly sharp and beautiful Paul.
Are these hand held and I may have asked you before but what equipment are you using?

Canon EOS 5D, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX, hand held. I set the camera on manual, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, f22, center spot exposure, and the flash to ETTL. The flash controls the exposure.
