I'm getting all revved up about the memorial day macro challenge.....but I can't step away from by f22 or f32.......it's going to be tough for me. I bought these for my wife at a local nursery......cut a few of the blooms to make a bouquet. Decided not to use the black BG......used a cookie cooling rack (with 1/4 square holes)....to hold the flowers in place. As usual, this took longer than the actual photography. Places leaves all around the perimeter for a border. Blurred, burned, and darkened the border extensively.....normal adjustments in PS2 on the bouquet. I had to stand on the pool steps about 4 feet up to get enough distance on the 180 macro to get the whole bouquet.
