It's her orange flower

My five-year-old took this photo with my dSLR + 100mm macro lens. O.O

Aww that's lovely!

[nanila]

Yes! I'm glad she took this when she did - the frost has finished all the flowers off now.

[redsixwing]

Wow! Well done, five-year-old!

[nanila]

She was very patient about taking it. She took a bunch of shots she wasn't happy with until she got the focus right.

Lovely! What a vibrant and intricate bloom. Your five-year-old takes much better pictures than I do.

[nanila]

Thank you (on five-year-old's behalf)! She has a lot of patience when she becomes focused on a task.

When I first scrolled to the photo I thought those were a circle of bees around the center of the flower! Nature is so remarkable.

It totally looks like that!

[nanila]

It does, and thank you for pointing that out!

[veritas_poet]

Good job kiddo!

[nanila]

Thank you (on her behalf)!

Please do if you want! It's my desktop at the moment. :)

Five is a very good age for flowers since they're often a similar height. Thanks for sharing, you and photographer.

[nanila]

Yes, good point! She's quite patient and will sit for a long time trying to get her compositions right.

[minoanmiss]

That is radiant!

[nanila]

It is! I'm glad she captured it when she did, because the flowers are gone now.

Well-framed and vibrant colors. Excellent picture.

[nanila]

Thank you. I shall pass on the compliment. :)

...that kid has a fantastic eye.

Wow. This is gorgeous.

Thank you. She's also quite patient. When I first started helping her use the macro lens - it was too heavy for her until just a few months ago - she was getting frustrated because focusing, even with autofocus, was much harder than with the other prime lenses. But she's really getting the hang of it now.

Clearly a natural!

[nanila]

She has a good eye, and she also has the patience to experiment with something until she's satisfied with the results. It's a good combination for photography!

[lark_ascends]

Beautifully done!

[nanila]

Thank you! I will pass that on. :)

[jxhide]

Beautiful! great job!

[nanila]

Thank you! I'll pass that on to the photographer. :)
