Bill,

This would pass for a Martian landscape I think. There's a great sense of depth in the image. I can imagine that I'm looking down on some huge structure and that there are ravines and dry river beds below. Striking image. Absolutely perfect dof and plane of focus control - at least for my tastes.

A great color combination and excellent composition. My only nit is that it looks like it has a 3 day growth of beard! :biggrin:

This is one of my favorite flowers to do macro work on.
It's tack sharp and very well exposed.
