A shallow DOF shot but with proper alignments with the Stigma/Stamens.

ND300s, AFD 200mm F/4 Micronikkor with 36 mm of ET, F/5.6, 1/160 Sec, ISO400 and Tripod.

Cropped Square for composition.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Vinca and let me know what you think of this one.

Sliced fine. I like that these are not just unrelated blobs, but tied, however faintly, to the heart of the flower.

Ram!!! One of the best floral abstracts ever! Holy cow! That is a tiny DOF at 5.6-- ah, but now I see the use of the ET! That explains it as well as the magnification and detail. Great eye to still have the soft lines in the flower's interior to play with visually. OOOOOooo, this makes me want to set my rig with ETs and get rolling. Thanks for the inspiration.

Very well seen and captured. I appreciate the set up challenge in getting all the stamen and the pistil sharp at the same time. The colors are great.
