This is a pretty little vine that grows all over the place where I live. I cloned out a little fly that was not in focus. I have gone back & forth to this one particular cluster of flowers over the past couple of days...trying to get the right aperture/angle(It has been much too windy to do a stack!).

Nice shot Eirini, and although I might prefer a bit more DOF, I think your plane of focus management here is very good. The color of the BG also complements the subject very well.

Very pretty grouping of flowers. Love the detail, colours, DOF, and BG.
Well-done!

Eirini this is a treat to see, beautiful tones and love the sharp detail of the two main flower heads.

Eirini - As good as it gets with a single shot even though I have no idea what aperture was used here. Plane of focus and alignment seems pretty good given the orientation of the subject.

I think you got a good focus on this one, Eirini. I might have tried just a bit more dof, but that's awfully subjective.

Very, very nice and very "realistic" colors
Congrats

Eirini:
I like the DOF you have chosen here to get just one bloom in focus and the rest of the supporting cast in various stages of OOF. The arrangement and placement in the frame is just perfect. Very nicely done.

Eirini: Kudos for the capture. My only suggestion would be to crop to 4:5 to give the flowers a bit more prominence. Well done.>=))>

What a charming image, Eirini ! Like your choice of dof very much, and the pale mauve and green of the flowers looks lovely on the green bg.
