   I love this close-up! 🙂 We seem to share a number of the same flowers in our gardens!

   ( I tried to click though and no luck! 😦 )

            That is as large as it will go. It is 1000 X 750.

               I’m confused… (not an unfamilair condition with my computer lately!!!)… your pic fits into your post column but is only showing at around 700×400?? ( am viewing in full screen on a 20 inch monitor?)

                  Forgottenman fixed it so it should now enlarge, Bob.

         Thanks for your efforts Judy! 😉

         It was not until i saw it in it’s full glory that i realised the two white flowers are different!

         One has 4 petals the other 5 – it stood out straight away when i looked at the enlargement but i had not seen it despite viewing it four times before?

         A truly beautiful macro btw. 😉

            Thanks for caring enough to point out that it wouldn’t enlarge. I think it is because I saved it as an individual photo instead of putting it in the gallery view.

      Lwbut – I tinkered with the layout, turning it into a clickable gallery. Try it now?

         Thank you kindly Sir. That did the trick! 🙂
         I get my photos in WordPress to open in a new window which is then clickable to the full sized image… it just needs a small modification to the html code for the image (target=” -blank” Rel = ” noopener”) if that makes any sense? Failing that i go into the ‘old’ WordPress editor (its still available on the Dashboard) and you can edit the image to appear as various sizes including custom and full-sized. just by clicking on a box. 🙂

            I don’t know what the advantages of the new editor are. I didn’t realize I’d somehow slipped into it. Perhaps they’ve made it the norm now?

         Yes! – the new editor just fits a fixed sized version into the theme post – unless you alter the html code as i do. I can also put borders around the photo – both of which are available under the old one but not easy in the new ‘improved’ version. 😉
