Sandi, to get a proper idea, I'm curious for both the shutter time and whether VR was used or not.
Even without these values I can say that this shot is amazingly sharp for a handheld shot. Think you must have nerves of steel so that trembling hands are an unknown phenomenon to you, lol.
You always knew your way around a flower. I'm still in awe of your shots. I still have trouble with the DOF, but this one is nearly perfect as usual. You know me...always asking for informative input. While I understand that viewing and appreciating a photo is subjective, I'll throw in my two bits until or unless you tell me to shut up.
I see a drop of noise in the light green stems in the back left, and I think the posting needs a shot of +gamma. There that wasn't so bad, was it?
