Totally digging this Mike - how in the heck did you get all these anthers in focus at f/5? Excellent work!

Mike - looks like you are winning the "sharp" division of this WC. Good job lining up all the anthers in the plane of focus.

Really nice,Mike. Looks like they are rising out of a mist. My only small nit has nothing to do with the photo itself. It looks like a small dust speck below the second anther from the right. :toast:

Mike, I thought I would find you over here in the WC forum this week. :wavey: This is right up your alley and of course this shot is just outstanding. The anthers appear to be floating above a cloud. Incredible shot Mike!

I think the comp. is beautiful. I love the blanket of white.

It does reminds me of cheese on toothpicks. But thats just because I'm weird. Gorgeous though!

I almost missed this one, Mike. I caught up to it here in the EP selection. It fit the WC for the week perfectly, very impressive. Congratulations on another EP slection too.
