Beautiful specimen and perfect DOF with perfect OOF background. I suspect this might be a considerable crop from the full frame considering the f stop and resulting DOF - yes?

Really lovely color in the subject & also great definition. For me, the BG is a bit too bright in the small image, but it does seem better in the larger.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the fine comment ... There was no crop on top or bottom, just a wee bit on the sides. if i shot the ideal f/22. the background would be too busy

Albert: Marvelous duo and a really fine capture, especially your DOF management. >=))>

Great image. The colors, dof and the detail are right on. The flowers really pop from the background.

Great job managing the dof to isolate and get good detail on the lilies, Albert. I like how all the anthers are sharp.

Albert, my first thought is also: all anthers are sharp. Everything looks great! Very well done.
