Ditto what Alice said...this looks awesome.
I'm waiting to get the closeup lens for my S2...can't wait to try it out.

...I wondered how come there was so much DOF at f5.6....then I noticed you used the S2 :)


Cheers,

It's simply stunning, love the soft petals at the bottom in contrast to the center that looks lit from within. :toast:
