another macro shot. I was thinking of cloning out the petals of the second flower at the edge of the photo, so that you are not distracted from the main flower, but on the other hand I'm a big fan of the Japanese technique of having partial elements to make you realize there are things outside the frame.

Hi Thomas, what a delicate flower you have here, so pretty with a beautiful centre. Very well captured, thank you.

It is a beautiful flower macro, well composed, very soft (here it works well) and with a very attractive background blur. I'd increase brightness just a tiny bit.
Frank

P.S.: What f-stop did you use? What exposure time?

Well done.

Hi Tom,
The beauty of nature well captured... again! This is a proof macros don't have to be pin sharp to catch interest, sometimes softness is more fitting for the subject. Maybe I'd rather see this one without the petals from the one upper left, even if I can see the point you describe -
Regards,
Pablo
