[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Trying to take this kind of close up / macro nature photo. This flower is called HIBISCUS, my country (MALAYSIA) official national flower. I took this photo 2 weeks ago at Penang Botanical Garden.

I am trying to play around with the DOF, and this is one of the shot that I think ok lar.. on my try to create a shallow DOF.

I used the Aperture Priority Mode and set to f/3.2 The photo was resized and added frame/canvas.

Critiques, comments and workshops are welcomed.

Your focus is great on the stamen of this flower. Your choice of flower to photograph is a very diffcult one, and I am pleased with the results you achieved here. I think it is very well done... :O)

Hmm.. hard to comment about this pic. But I'll choose a F/4.5 and maybe something like 1/50 here. Anyhow, well done.
