Pierre...

Love the colors and your composition.  The colors are very rich, deep, and vivid.  Great shot...

Thank you, Bill!

It was testing of the first DSLR of my daughter!

Best regards

PDE

Pierre, wonderful clarity throughout. Perfect DOF, well composed, very natural colors, texture shows well.

WOW Pierre! !!!!  Absolutely fantastic.  Great DOF ,superb  details and clarity. A wonderful mixture of vibrant colors. Perfect BG . Well Done. Some photos like this focus too much on the center.  You have the right amount of petals to portray the overall beauty of the flower! !!!!!  (IMHO)  AJ

Well, Pierre, this is our kind of macro! Good dof, color composition etc. It  attests to the quality of the canon rebel and kit lens, not to mention the photographer, to produce something of this quality. Nice one!

Nature's beauty well captured!

Lovely picture with nice details and coloring!  Cheers Pierre!

Hi, Pierre!

Excellent red and yellow! I see you used F22 here. I hear our friend Mike's voice (saying to me, of course) that this lens' best performance is at F.... So I wouldn't shoot at this F stop. But it looks great.... I am confused... Warm regards, Tamara

Thank you DAVE,

I will use your comment to oppose Tamara's and uncle Mike's theories!

PDE

Thank you AJ,

Your comment is also very usable for opposing Tamara's and uncle Mike's technical attitudes because the DOF and the clarity all over are achieved with the f/22!

PDE

Gregory & Verena,

Thank you for your expert evaluation!

PDE

Thank you Kathy,

I did my best to satisfy the requirements of the nature's beauty!

PDE

Thank you Jorge,

The light is the simplest possible, direct on camera flash as I can remember!

PDE

Thank you Panayotis,

Your comment also helps for the opposing the claims of the optical science in tribute to the wide open aperture and also the practice, IE when I use the macro in scene mode the camera sets the widest possible opening!

PDE

Tamara,

this f stop only could obtain the all over sharpness in depth, as I said above, the maximum quality of the picture is here sacrificed to the DOF and nobody would have anything to say about the loss of the maximum lens performance according to the optical theory against small apertures, including you if the metadata wasn't shown!

Thank you for your contribution!

PDE

A beautiful result with very nice lighting, colors and details, Pierre!

Thank you Ruud,

You are very kind!

PDE

Beautiful!  And it holds clarity when viewed large.

Thank you Dominick,

Don't all my photos on PN hold clarity viewed large? Ha!

Cheers to that

PDE

Questa per me è "seduzione pura"! Non dico altro perché sarebbe superfluo! Complimenti mio caro amico Pierre!

L'onore è tutto mio, maestro! Grazie molto per la tua visita preziosa e commentare prezioso!

Ciaomau
