great shot Trevor... great colours and contrast!

how are you finding the lens? are those colours tweaked in PS etc or straight from the shot?

cheers mate..

G'day Mark

The lens is great - very sharp and contasty. I find auto-focus for macro work to be a bit problematic. Manual focus seems to work best for me.

I have PPd this shot. I applied some Gaussian blur to the background.

With most pix from my camera, I find that I need to tweak saturation and sharpness. I hope I'm improving in that area.

Cheers

Nice shot...but screaming out for some PP in Photoshop. I would suggest selecting the iris using the pen tool with the image magnified to 200% and then inverting the selction and blurring the background. Then add a canvas texture to the background and maybe darken the background. This would make the iris pop.

I agree with Chris, looking at the larger image is so much nicer. Great looking shot. :D
