First-Day

Large view preferred. We just had a new Minnesota native garden installed

in our backyard. This image is one of the only near-mature blooms on the

first day after planting. The image is taken with a 90mm macro on a tripod.

I deliberately have an extremely limited DOF. The wind a reality, was

certainly a factor in this capture. Your views are appreciated. Larry

It's a beautiful image, in green and subject and your narrow DOF works very well. Odd right hand placement works very well too.

Jose,  Thanks for the compliment on this image.  I am not well practiced at using this lens, so I appreciate your comment.  Larry

I agree with Jose' assessment of the this image Larry. I can add that the larger view shows us some great close up detail. I love the narrow dof. Good luck with the garden.

BR, Holger

Holger,   Thanks for weighing in on this one.  I need to practice more with this macro lens, so I feel more competent with it.  The garden is a major backyard restoration.  It will take a year or two to get mature.  Larry

I had to fight the urge to recommend cropping a bit of the left side. In the end this works for me.
