Nice perch, dof, composition. All the elments are there to make this a beautiful image. Who needs the macro lens... the 70-300 did a great job! :toast:

Really pleasing! I have no real nits, but some would suggest that in a perfect world the petals on the upper oof flower would be best not touching the edge of the frame.
