You'll have to excuse me - I can't post the exif data until tomorrow. My Internet connection at home is still defunct so I ran into work to post and forgot to bring the data along for the ride. :eek:
I know this much - I made this the same day as the "Big Daylily/Small Ant" image and I'm pretty sure this was with all three extension tubes hooked together (12mm, 20mm & 36mm.)
I have been wrestling with whether to post this image or one of two others that I also took that day but I keep going back to this one so here you go: Daylily stamen up close and personal! :D
Canon 40D, EF 100mm f2/8 macro & stacked extension tubes
f4 @ 1/160th, ISO 200
Manual mode, pattern metering, natural sunlight
Processed in ACR & CS4; small crop, increase in luminosity/decrease in saturation.

Fabs, I have finally found the secret in using a Canon camera and getting good yellows: I decrease the saturation by 5-8 points in Adobe Camera Raw and then increase the luminosity by about the same amount (5-10 points.) It pulls out the over-bleeding and leaves it with this rich, beautiful lemony yellow color.
Even though you're going to disqualify me for a second time,:(:D Im still gonna vote yours as the winner. You've been doing a great job with your soft abstracts lately.
