105mm macro lens, 1/125 sec, f5.6, iso800. Processed in lightroom. I thought a square crop worked best.

Anna, this is a fine look at this Pasque flower, with all of it’s stamen nicely sharp. You’ve also caught the bow nicely. The background works well in creating a very warm and inviting view. As a minor improvement, a light touch of burning-in on the leaves at the bottom left would let the flower stand out even more.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mark! I’ll give it a try.
A nice look at this beautiful flower, Anna. I love how the flower bows over, and is more at a three quarters view. That background is soft enough to not distract from the subject. Well done.
I like your plane of focus and depth of field, Anna. The details in the flower center and far petals are exquisite, while still maintaining a nicely soft feel to the image.
Thanks Shirley and Dennis! Shooting with the macro lens gives me fits sometimes.
