This Week's Hot Pic: "Spring Blossoms," by Himanshu Yashwant Marathe, East Hartford, Connecticut
Himanshu writes: "I shot this picture with my Canon Powershot S2 IS camera set to macro mode. I had to bend down a lot to take this shot. The sun was off to the side and radiates through the petals so you can see the shadow of the stamens coming through."
