Very nice comp showing the center well and pov is excellent. Oh, maybe a tad bit more dof for all stamens tack sharp. I like the tiny hint of glow coming from the very center...holds my interest. A wee blow out of a couple petal edges..but, it looks kinda cool, actually... Nice shot!

Thank you, Ken. With my eyes I don't worry about getting all the stamens in focus anymore. I try real hard to get something in focus, though.

Charles: Seems so unusual to see you shoot a perfect specimen. This is excellent, especially the whites, light and the DOF. Top notch. >=))>

Sweet image Charles. Very nice light, and I really like the slight blush of pink in the petals.

Charles, the detailed stamen provide a filigreed feel against the soft pink petals. Nice effect.
