Purple Flower

I think I would have liked to see the entire flower in focus, or at least the closest leaf. It is a great shot but that forward petal out of focus bothers my eyes just a little.

Mindforge, I am not sure if I can get more dof? Here is my exif: Aperture: f/16.0
Focal Length: 165 mm. Attached to that I had a Nikon no.4T closeup filter. I had a plasitic diffuser on the flash which I reflected back with a piece of cardbord covered with the dull side of aluminum foil.

Awesome photo !! Thanks for posting.

Take care,

Dwayne Oakes

Now that you mention it, it does look like a purple poppy...Excluding the brain.

A genetic experiment gone wrong?! :eek:

Sorry. Sometimes I just blurt out things :headslap:

Very nice, raiven. Very nice, indeed.

very well done - beautiful image!
