Very nice Mike. Love the color on color, the softness, the composition... everything about it. In your experience, do images like this sell? Or do the purchasing public prefer sharp, crystal clear realistic images?
Now I hate to be the one to take a literal interpretation on such an impressionistic image but... before I, and possibly others, go "jamming" our 150 or 180 or 200mm macro lenses into a flower, is that what you really did here??? :eek::confused: With a 180, you minimum focusing distance would be what - about 18" maybe. Any closer and you will not be able to focus sharply which obviously is not the issue here. But how close did you move to the flower? I guess I can't believe you would get this much "in focus" moving a 180 right on top of the flower. I guess I could just experiment myself but thought I would ask first.
Hey Ed, I can focus in at eight inches with the 180, and I got a little carried away with the jam comment, but I was as close as I could get without adding extension tubes.
