Hi Paul: You have the focus and DOF just right on this one. Nice pattern and texture. Well captured.

Strong comp and a fine image for my tastes Paul. I also like the title a lot. No suggestions.

Thanks for all the comments. I was thinking this was a little "busy", but there is just a lot going on in the center of an orchid

. I recently picked up some linear stages on ebay that allow me to focus smoothly at a sub-micron scale. This has been a huge improvement over focusing rail/bellows controls.
