Great results Tom. Yes they do look striking, fresh and lifelike(unlike me!).

Very nice pics Tom. I'm liking my GX100 also, now that I have given in to the pull of a new gadget. I tried my best to avoid it as long as possible; but, I'm happy I have a new toy after all... : - )

Take care.

Great pics Tom.
What filter did you use (and why so)?

Stricking indeed!
I especially like the 2nd (1st and 3rd as well)

I really like the third one: it has a degree of abstraction due to the near perfect circular shape in the square format. Even the background leaves radiate outward. Very captivating.

I have had trouble with reds being rendered orangish in bright light as well. I have found that the only solution is to set the EV to a lower exposure until it "goes away" - I did not have this problem with the rose as it did not have the lighter shade of red that causes the real trouble - it is pretty true to life as I recollect it. The rose was one of the type that has a velvet-look to its leaves.

I was just trying (testing?) the standard adapter tube with rubber hood and a daylight filter attached. Gave me a "barrel" to grip on but I was not sure if the filter might not have been affecting the macro focussing. In the end I decided that the focus was working well enough.

Just a daylight filter to seal off the end of the tube so that it didn't act like a funnel to direct odd unfriendly bits of matter on to the working and moving bits inside.

Not trying to get any effect just hoping that the camera would ignore it.

Yes they are a stiking "hard" flower that go well in arrangements that end up as "dried flowers". They grow on a middle sized hard-wooded shrub with strong hard glossy evergreen leaves.

Not that common here outside Botanical Gardens but their flowers are prized specimens.

This one is just starting to come into its full glory.
