Really nailed the focus which is a fair achievement given that slight breeze that seemed to crop up whenever you stopped to take a pic

Love #1. Nice DOF, color and composition. Good to see some Macro junkies doing their thing on this walk.

a whosy-what? hey but nice picture :up:

I noticed with my shots of the bell flower, getting the white part to 'appear' in focus was quite difficult, whilst the red portion was sharp, I found the white portion in mine just looked crap.

Nonetheless, I think you have done very nicely here - that softbox is working a charm for you too also..

The remaining two images are also very good, just what you would expect from a flower identification book :up: I think thats a compliment too :cough:
