Default Macros Discovery @ my Neighbour's Garden

Discovering all these unknown macros plants & mini flowers is interesting ... I wish to show their glories through my photos.
Always pass-by them without even noticing their existence.

A closer look at Nature

More photos at thread#4

1) A Collage of some pix I took




2) My neighbour told me when these mini plant drop off from the leaves... it is ready
to glow into another plant by its own... what a discovery.




3) Interesting pattern... Nature brings Joy to us



4) Small red petal of this flower or plant..??

bro,

Pic #1
The hidden picture of the cherry blossom lookalike on the bottom left of the collage looks good!

#3, I like this most. But feel a tighter crop might be better. I like the different orientation of the mini buds! I like the title "Nature brings joy to us" because I see the clapping hands of the mini buds. Wonder is that what you saw?

#4 looks delicious!

Regards,
tltan

Thanks bro tltan for sharing your views on my photos... this helps
I will post the "cherry blossom" soon.. it looks big on photos but actually it is so mini
and again the winds kept blowing ..
Btw, nature always bring joys esp when are still beautifuly showing their glory even when they
are not noticed...it was a real joy to discover them happily "clapping their hands"

Bro, well done. I like the series especially the collage and the #3!



Can see that you are improving in macro photography. Who said Landscape/travel photographer can't do macro?

I like #3, and like tltan said, a tighter crop would be better. Esp the right side, as it has too much space.

Thx for your feedback.. look like a square crop is better for these pix.
