Still building my collection of flora images
These are the main two heads on my spathiphyllum.
I could of done the single head shot, but i felt it needed some other interest.So i thought i would include the other one in the BG.
I have another shot(s) of this "stacked".But it gives the illusion of both the heads were at the same distance.Having the one on the right OOF gives the image depth.Which is what i was after.

I like this . I think the two opposite curves go well together. I reckon the back one in focus too would have worked.
As a matter of interest Andy
I used a 50mm lens with a 2x converter today on a Lizard. Does that combination make it macro ? Or- does a 50mm +2x + no4 closeup make it one.?
Cheers

Superb capture! I like the Oof one in the BG adds more interest as you say!
Another well crafted shot Alan
