Love this deep rich color Thad and a very nice result with those settings.

Why the narrow focal range Thad? A full screen of these beauties in focus would have looked better.

You and Raj are over my head. I think the blue and purple over the background of black works very well.

Thad, in the the narrative of this posting I've written that a narrow FL will result in a very shallow DOF. Probably well known matter to you. The result is relative much bokeh. You have your bokeh on the foreground. I would have preferred, by adjusting the FL somewhat, to have it on the background, but that's just a matter of taste.
It's anyhow a very nice image to me. The deep tones are wonderful!

Regards, Cornelius.

My dianthus have completely disappeared from my garden, with just little stubs left, and I've not found the varmint that ate them! Love the colors of your image.

Excellent posting for F², gorgeous rich purples and like the way the centre ones are the main focus.

Studied thoroughly the image, then the comments, then checked how it worked as DT and must say that your focus and range etc are OK.:)
