Some years back, we visited a lovely lady in Hermanus. She had the most wonderful garden and early one morning I got up to take some photos of the flora. I took a macro shot of some dew-covered daisies that I am to this day especially proud of – click here to see it. It’s not a professional-looking photo but I like it and entered it in a competition under the DOF category. Surprisingly I won.
Anyways enough of the preamble. I just stumbled across 15-year-old Polish photographer, Magda K. Her macro shots of flowers have such a beautiful, serene look about them. When I grow older, I want to be like her – a better photographer, not a Polish girl, because that wouldn’t make much sense. See some of Magda’s wonderful photos after the jump.
See more at Magda’s work on DeviantART.

my macro shots never work out well. must be the lense i’m using :P
some nice shots there.
I’m going the “blame my tools” route as well.
There are some supremely talented kids out there. I really like Tjeerd Visser’s second-place photo in the Young Photographer of the Year 2009 competition.
