spider on astranzia major

[Valerio Tarone]

last august, for some hours I've been doing endeavours to get this spider in focus together the lovely flower. The only satisfying way had been to increase more and more the DOF.
sigma 70mm macro , extension tubes(I can't remember which) matrix EV 0 ISO 3200 tripod dull sky. WB auto.In PP strong work in sharpening, NR reduction, a bit on S/H levels.
Focusing only on one subject? yes, I did. But I think that the subjects work well.
C&C .....thanks

Hello valerio,

I am a novice on this forum, but I find that the image is a little out of focus, especially the spider. Given the subject, i think it would be hard to get both the elements of the flower and the spider in focus.

thank you Ravi .I can agree withb you.

Valerio, I see 2 major problems with this one....the spider is OOF and there is too much going on with the flower. Since you were not able to get a clear view of the spider, I think this one is a lost cause. I would like to see an image of just the flower....it looks like an interesting variety. :S3:

Ken, I understand. As you asked.
