Chris

Great shot - love the desaturated background and the nice simple composition. Weren't you tempted to rearrange the petals to fix that annoying little wisp?

Peter - there always has to be a flaw so that people can comment :wink:

Hmmm......even at F32 the background is really blurred.

Kipper - it is a macro lens, very small flower and very small DOF.

With this setting of f/32 at approx 5cm distance you would have a DOF of 5.02cm near and 4.98cm far and a hyperfocal of 1733.2cm :shock:

Thats pretty darned good for a Sigma Chris :wink:

I can even see some indentations in individual petals, and with my eyesight............

Hmm....so you can focus at 5cm from subject?

I remember using my Sigma 70-300MM Super Macro APO I (not II) and it really sucked in macro I found. Don't think I could focus on a subject that was closer then about 1M from focal plane.

Btw, could you give a rough estimate of the size of the subject in millimeters.

Fraid the flower died - sorry - but it was one of those small daisies you find growing in prolification in the garden

So roughly about 10-15MM in diameter. How much did you crop the image or isn't it?

I think a 105MM Macro after the VR, legs and head is on the list

To be perfectly honest I have no idea how much I cropped this pic as it was shot prior to my keeping NEFs but it has been cropped from the right hand side as the image was very central

Nice shot - like the desaturated effect, make the yellow really stand out. As stubbsy mentioned, only nitpick is the small petal sticking in the wrong place.
