Magnolia
I wasn't too crazy about the original in color, and was in the mood to play with Corel Paint Shop Pro X, so I decided to convert this one to black & white.

Second day of practicing attempts at shooting flowers with a digicam.
Shot in Garden section of Lowe's Home Improvement Center.
These are only 1 1/2" in diameter, so I was surprised it came out this good with a non-macro lens.

Hybrid Ixora, a continually-flowering tropical shrub.
Hadn't shot any flowers since a 2-day practice period, a month after I got a digital camera.
These are outside the lobby entrance of my apartment building, and caught my eye, for some reason, Friday afternoon, September 29, 2006.
Took several, using the D70s's various modes, including manual, and "aperture preferred." This one, set to "Closeup" program was the only one I liked of the several shots I took, and was in late afternoon's deep shade, so the flash fired.
Nikkor 18-70mm DX "kit lens" and built-in flash --- EV: -0.7.
Oakland Park, Florida -US- near Fort Lauderdale.
