Hello DP'Sers. This is a shot of my desert rose flower before its full bloom. I used the Sigma 105mm macro lens with the 20mm extension tube and a tripod. Let me know what you all think.

Hope you enjoy.

Michael

Hey Michael, I think it's a first class capture. Very well set-up, executed with wonderful results. Nice going buddy.

Oh, Michael, I love everything about this, color, composition, lighting, DOF -- it's all wonderful. Great detail on the foreground flower, and it's very effective to have the second one in the background. Thanks so much for sharing this one.

I can see the little hairs on the edge of the flower, that is so good.

Hi Michael, I think it is a wonderful capture. The soft background with the extra flower and the sharp detail of the hairs in the front flower. You did a great job at capturing this beauty.
