"Looking Straight In", by Mark Ali
Camera: Nikon D3100
Lens: Nikkor 40mm (macro)
Exposure: 6 sec at f/29, ISO 800

I enjoy taking close-up shots of flowers with my macro lens. The internal parts of flowers take on an almost alien appearance when you look straight in like this. The vibrant blue and purplish/pink colors you see here belong to a flower called an "alstroemeria".
