Superb… just when I think I am learning something about macro flora, I see this and want to quit!
A lot of depth in a single image and very attractive color to go with it.

Truly inspirational ! This is a macro that I could hang on the wall.

Beautiful ! Both in color palette and presentation.

Sandy: Iris extracts are some of my favorite images. This is very well done. :+1::+1: >=))>

Amazing depth. Was this full frame? Beautiful, whatever!

F 11 seems to be a sweet spot for several lenses with this D850.

This is beautiful, Sandy. I really like the way the depth of field is placed in this image with the sharpest area in the throat. I think it could work even slightly better at f/16 with the front of the in-focus zone at the same place it is in this image, but getting the back of the throat in the zone, so the eye is pulled all the way in, but it’s still very effective as posted.
