Third in a series of 4 photos with increasing depth of field.

*****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.

Great shot there! I like the boukeh and the soft finish makes the flower stand out more! The angle is very nice too!

@Koushiro~光子郎: Thank you! I think I would prefer it if that petal in the middle were not completely horizontal, but didn't notice at the time.

I prefer this one. If the trend continues, I'll love the fourth one.

I am liking all of these - I don't know which one the most though! Really well done - I like the hint of pink color in this one.

Your flower compositions are amazing. I really like the DOF on this one and the soft colors are excellent.
