Very, very nice. The macro images on this forum are really inspiring me to go out and try myself. If I could emulate shots like this I will be a very happy photog. Well done Des

Not critically sharp IMHO, or that is just how it appears on my screen. Good subject and background. :toast:

Hi Des,

Beautiful capture! I agree with Elliott about it not being critically sharp!

Great capture, though looks soft to me too, at 1/20 I find a tripod on its own not enough - did you use cable release and mirror lock up too? (Though of course there's not much that can be done about any breeze)

I like the pose, though would've prefered the subject a bit higher up in the frame. nice to see a shot of something a bit different to the usual.
