These flowers are so vibrant I have to try to tone them down a little! This

one was handheld at 1/100 second with a non stabilized 100mm macro

lens. The flower is the size of a softball. Aloha!

Very, very nice close-up. Bravo.

Cheers.

Strikingly beautiful... Mike

I prefer this one Dominick for it shows the beauty of the flower and its fragility and tenderness under the well chosen light!

Best regards!

This is very nice - well centered, balanced, very clear, good dof- gosh - football sized!  No wonder you can do this hand-held! Regardless, beautiful flower and beautiful shot.
