*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Oh gosh that really looks beautiful! However, i think i liked the previous one better, the one with a softer look to it... But that's a beautiful picture nontheless...

I really like the composition and the idea of a series with the different depths of field.
Great job!

This is a beautiful shot. I think that the next in the series might have just a bit more dof. Which I'm thinking will be an even better choice with a touch more depth. Just an opinion. Don't get me wrong though. I do like this. Yesterdays too!

@susan: Thank you. Tomrrow's and the next day's will each have more dof. It is interesting to see the difference made by staying in the same position and just changing the f stop.
@eyeswideopen: So glad you like it!

Nice shot from up, the focus and blure area is great.

Not sure quite why, but I saw more of a zoom effect in this shot, then your first. Looking forward to the next two.

Beautiful -- and fun. I really like the feeling of movement here.

@GJC: Yes, thanks. I was surprised to find that out of focus could create movement.
