Awesome shot, very interesting. One question, handheld or tripod? OOPS! And at 105mm how close were you to these? :smile:

LOL! I usually DO use a tripod with flowers and macro stuff. Will add, sorry.

Sandy - very pretty shot. Love the implied triangle formed by the three blooms and how the out of focus areas at the top also form two nice implied triangles. One of the best I have seen from you in a while now.

I like the triad in focus, so good dof and pof for me. Lovely color and fascinating subjects. Unique to me.

This looks similar to fairy dusters that we have growing out here! I like how you filled the frame and the sharpness where it is important! What a beautiful color! I am surprised you needed the mirror lockup & cable release at 1/350! I guess better safe than sorry!
