Like the texture of the flower and the way the petals overlap each other Gus. Great the DOF too. Would love to see it as a big print.

Nice Gus Central placement with selective focus works just fine !!! Excellent !!!

Hey Gus,
I'm usually a fan of more DOF....but this one is working for me. Very nice choices made and the lighting is fabulous.
