I live half a block from Golden Gate Park, and all these flowers are in walking distance from where I live. I'm big on filling the frame.

Too much to digest in one viewing. JohnSwanda you have given us many spicy meals to digest, eye/mind biting flavors.
With the exception of next to the last one and perhaps #5 which are a "so what" flower photos, but the rest are WOW.
The cropping and intense colors of these photos have high visual impact and when stared at speak details loudly. A couple are simple bold color on white... and then #8 is a flower contortionist so intertwined in self amazingly so.

Stunning! Do you fill the frame when you shoot/in camera, or with extreme cropping? Amateur here. Cannot get this close and sharp. What Lens? Use a Tripod? Thanks

Thanks. I have a Nikon 105mm f2.8 Micro on a Nikon 7100. At the closest focus I can get down to about a one inch subject, and a couple of these are focused that close, notably the 3rd, 5th and 6th ones. I love tiny flowers which I can make very large. I mostly frame the photos in the camera, but I often use the Photoshop Liquify filter to fill out corners or to adjust the composition. Also, if I have extra space on the top or bottom or on the sides I will crop to fill it, and then return the file to the original size. I find I can stretch or distort flowers so that it isn't noticeable.
I don't use a tripod as it is too heavy to carry on my walks and it would take too long to set up each shot. As such, I can't do focus stacking so I use very small apertures sometimes and ignore the conventional wisdom that it will cause diffraction. I find any lack of sharpness can be fixed in post, and the extra depth of field is worth it. I do often use an on camera flash indoors in a greenhouse or on days with no sun.
