Very beautiful picture Greg, great lighting and texture. Very detailed. I would never achieved that degree of sharpness all through at f25. Well done my friend.

Take care.

Another perfect breath taking beauty.  Great colors, but must be viewed large to fully appreciate.

Beautiful capture with such lovely detail. These flowers are so remarkable. I will be using my tripod more this year and trying to take images where I have more control over the outcome. Mind you, I can't help but want to be in the Garden when I am taking images, it is what makes me most happy!!! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely image, kind regards, Gail

Hi all,

Thanks for your time and comments.

Patrick-  this is a pretty big bloom, that's why it can be sharp at f25 - of course you can too! give it a try!

 

Gail-it's always a challenge to shoot outdoors- I do find, though that using a flash- even in good sunlight- with manual settings and a high f # (12-14) will still give pretty good clarity even with a little wind. If you want to go further- get a remote shutter (either cable or wireless) and a thing where you can use your flash off the camera so you can aim the light at different angles to get differing effects.
