Description
A blooming flower and two buds on our Mexican Lime tree, captured in ultra-macro from approximately 1/4 inch in front of the lens filter and digitally altered. The light flecks on the petals and dark flecks on the buds are naturally present, and somewhat mimic the pores on the skins of the fruit. Little miniature limes should be appearing soon, and in a few months, they may become parts of a cold drink or be baked into a pie, depending upon our appetites at the time. We already have limes from newly conceived to about two inches long on this tree.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I am an opportunist photographer of nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer to capture the spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring, and rarely photograph staged subjects other than portraits. Although I have been a photographer for decades, I have only started posting them for others to see since about September 2012. Please see my largest collection of photographs posted at http://500px.com/holmesidepi. I had sufficient encouragement from posts on other sites to try putting some up for sale on Fine Art America (FAA), which offers a wide range of printing and mounting options not currently available on 500px. As a result, I have successfully sold some of my works. Unfortunately, photography is not my primary field, and I have limited time to expand my online presence, but I will continue to steadily post more of my best works on 500px and/or FAA every week. Please revisit my sites periodically.
If you love, like, respect, admire, or even feel somewhat favorably inclined toward any of my works, please vote, vote+fave, and/or offer gently constructive criticism or suggestions. Votes and faves are important to me and help me understand what other people like or don't like. Anonymous down votes mean nothing to me, unless you dignify them with an explanation. I know that negative comments will help me to learn as I continue to improve my work.

Thank you very much, Joe. I like to stretch the envelope every once in a while. Sometimes it works.
