Clematis bud morning
= new reply since forum marked as read
Another stellar composition!
I think your new lens has already paid for itself.
This was taken with the Canon 15-85mm.
I especially love the dew drops that are clinging to the bud.
I'm on my tablet right now, so photos are displayed in a size that fits on the screen. When I zoom all the way in on this, I can actually see a reflection in the largest drop (on the right side of the bud) that looks like a house, trees, and a stretch of green lawn. (Either that, or I'm hallucinating, lol. 
)
I've never been attracted to doing macro photography myself, but I really like to look at it, especially when it's this well done.
