Extreme Close-up Nature/Flower Art Photography - Landscape and larger Birds

"Many of my subjects are close to the lens, revealing their intriguing quality. 
Some of my images are extreme close-up to the point of abstraction. Shapes and
textures that are not usually distinguished by the human eye are reproduced
and revealed in great detail on my fine art prints. I feel that I have succeeded
in capturing my image if the viewer does not recognize the subject at first glance,
hence making the image more interesting and worthy of a second look." SD
