I found these roadside in Pinkham Notch today, I thought it an iteresting set. I couldn't keep a clean background and get both in sharp focus, I'd love to hear thoughts on this...
WOW A pink and white Moccasin flower in the same spot!!
What a find!!
I think you have done a pretty good job with the DoF here, this is a tough situation and the balance looks good to me. I wonder if you considered using something other than a macro lens for this? Depending on what you have in your bag you might be able to get it all in focus and still get good bluring for the background. A 24-70 zoom with a low apature number might get something good along that line. Something to think about next time. . .
You and Michelle are going to have to tell me what brand of bleach you use to get these white flowers !!

My white ones were next to a pink one too. It wasn't close enough to include in the comp. I will post my two side by side whites later, though!
