I don't recall you posting in flora before, Roger. This image is a beauty. I like the comp; the grass color, shape and detail; and the nice bg. :toast:

Roger: Welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet and thanks for a terrific first post here. Excellent isolation of the subject against the BG and the ladybug party crasher is icing on a very fine cake. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more.>=))>

Wow! Thanks for this very warm welcome. This is my first year shooting Flora & I'm hoping to learn a lot here.

A very cool plant, and unique to me. Lovely light and color. Well composed and presented.

I wish that all of my first attempts came out like this, Roger (or my second or third or fiftieth :biggrin: ). Very nice form to the composition and your DOF was perfect to get the grass in sharp focus yet achieve nice separation from the background.

Excellent dof on this one, Roger. I've been trying to get this kind of dof on similar grasses. This lens combination really worked well.
