flickr fave: up close and personal

i admire a lot of photographers and photo hobbyists alike in flickr. but for macro and nature shots, the person at the top of my list has got to be rosemary*.

the first time i saw her photos, i was awestruck. ALL her photos are beautifully composed and taken. it's difficult to pick out my most favorite among them. at the moment, it's this one...

i don't know how she does it.

i do know she uses a Canon EOS 300D and several zoom lenses (Canon & Tamron)..but gadgets can only take you so far if you don't have the talent.

and i am telling you, this lady has got LOADS of talent AND an excellent eye for detail to boot.

see for yourself.
