#2 is superb!!!
#1, i think i would like to see a greater dof to sharpen up the turned back petal....otherwise, but i love the colours
#3 is lovely as well..
dont care for 4, 5, 6.....colours like that need to be showcased!!
I would have liked to have seen the petal in focus as well but I am using a macro function on a tele lens rather than a specialised macro. The macro feature is between 200-300mm on the lens and the aperture needs to be quite wide in order to keep the shutter speed down to stop movement caused by wind. Because of this the DOF I get is about an inch, and it is hard to expand it further than this.
Having said that I actually really like the effect that the petal gives being out of focus, it really draws the eye into the flower's stamen.
