Bee on Forget-me-not
Continuing with my attempts at macro photography...

the central third of the image - not sure if I should have cropped some of the bottom though?

C&C welcomed as ever.

Techs
20D
300f4L IS (switched off as on tripod!) + 31mm extension tube
used the remote release this time!
1/160 @ f11 -0.67 ISO400
slight curves and Noise Ninja in PS + high pass sharpening

Hi Dennis,

Great detail! Love the mix of vibrant colours here in the image! Your choice of DoF is great as the OoF FGMN is still recognisable yet it isn't distracting. I like the composition as presented!

Hi Dennis,

Very nice capture and composition , the 300F4IS is a superb macro lense , I own one myself and use it for the very same purpose.

Yep, looks nicely balanced to my eye Dennis, and well detailed/exposed to boot :toast: :toast:
