A very nice subdued look. The f/2.8 really makes the dof fall away nicely.

That's so delicate. As there's no light, there's truly a special atmospehre... That green is splendid. Bravo, Ron !

An unobtrusive image portraying a simple plant shrouded in a gentle blur. Good work Ron.

Tracey from White Hall, United States

The softness( lighting and color, not focus) of the image paired with the detail of the plant is just amazing. It should be in a gallery.

lissa from New York, United States

I think this my most favorite of your flower shot but then again I might just say that again if you come up with another great one. I do like all your flower shots. There's just something about flowers that just makes a great subject.

I like the delicate softness here, brings out the edges quite nicely, and the black background is a great choice

your camera detail on the right says it's shot with a Canon 40D but in your caption you say Canon 500D, I am not familiar with the either camera but I think one is suppose to be superior camera than the other. I'm wondering if you would have capture the shot the same way if you're using the 500D rather the 40D, just wondering

oops, sorry, I misread, I don't know how I missed the word "lens". sorry about that.

I would try your method except I only have one lens and lens are so expensive but you did do a good job on this closeup.
