Phil, a wonderful image and an equally wonderful message!

Gorgeous photo, Phil. The image stack has stunning detail.
A very fine tribute to all who have served and those who are still serving in our military…:+1:

Excellent details and a nice tribute…
I might have removed the far OOF leaf before you shot.

Dan, not my flower. The Botanical Garden lets me shoot all I want, but they don’t want me doing any gardening. FWIW, I agree with you.

Very appropriate, Phil. Excellent stack. The background leaf is a bit of a pain, but not unduly so. Have you ever tried a teleconverter with the 180 mm? I never have with my Canon 180, but I’m curious what the results would be. You could have gotten rid of the distracting leaf that way.

Beautifully done and a fine tribute.

Thank you to all that have served and sacrificed!

Thank you for remembering the veterans, Phil. What a gorgeous image! I feel like I should smell the rose, and if I should touch it I would get my fingers wet!

Nice placement of the rose in the frame. And the dew on the petals makes it extra special.
