Detail of the interior of one of our magnolia blossoms.

I find macro photography of daffodils extremely difficult. Part of the problem is that they are short, and tend to face downward, which is difficult as my tripod often does not allow me to get low enough. But the other problem I find is that, due to their size, I often cannot capture the differences in color between inner and outer petals without it being “just another photo of a daffodil.” I’ll keep trying, however.
