Gary: I like this variety and how you've captured the reds. I also like the lighting and the shadow of the stamen structure. Striking shot.>=))>

I like the swirling lines receding into the center. Looks like a vortex. I like the extended DOF from the f22, and the detail looks very good notwithstanding the narrow lens opening. The side lighting is strong but the scarlet red is gorgeous.
ps, Gary, you asked about my use of the D600 for landscapes. I bought it together with the new 24-85 to take it on a backpacking trip. However, post-purchase, I found that I could not process raw files, so I took my D700 and then continued to use it this fall. It is my understanding that LR4 (which I don't yet have) is finally upgraded to support the D600, but I have been too busy to get it all together. How are you processing raw files from the D600?
Scott, I use LR4.2 to process the raw files. However I only have CS5 which does not have the raw converter for D600 and its still a hassel as I cannot load multiple files as layers into CS5. Also cannot use Helicon for stacking as yet  . On the plus side, I really like the high ISO and high fps for insect flight shots

I like the swirling lines and great detail that F22 afforded you. Well composed and shown in my opinion Gary.

Excellent composition, Gary - the rhythms of the petals are a delight and the colour and lighting ( that lovely shadow ) perfect for my tastes.

Yea, the only way you could have the whole flower in sharp focus would be focus stacking. I like the composition, but the bright light is too harse. Try using a diffuser to soften the light.

Gary,
Excellent hibiscus presentation. Perfect choice of crop and very nice handling of the lighting. Perfect clarity and all details. The close crop, bright lighting and rich red color give this photo a wonderful intimate feel. It seems as if there is no-one in the universe except this beautiful hibiscus and the viewer. Very well done.
