Lousy day weather wise but great for a photo walk:

Lovely tones.
#1 is great. I wish DOF could be better but that's always a challenge with macro shots.

Yeah...its always a decision to have it all in focus and sacrifice the bokeh or choose the best focal point and go from there....I'm personally of the latter opinion...especially when the light is not great like yesterday and no tripod.
Thanks for all the kind words peoples!

Nice images. I love the second shot,looks really good. As for the focus leave it as it is, that's macro imaging.

All nice, but am lovin' the second one.
