A variety of Plumbago at the local arboretum. Shot at 1X, the two inch blossoms are too big for the MP-E 65 lens. The plane of focus is about a quarter of an inch deep here and I put it through the center of the near flower. I didn't have much hope for the shot when I took it, but it has kind of a dreamlike quality that I like now.

I love the dreamlike colors in this one. Great job on the composition and focus too.

Beautiful mellow colours and an air of mystery.

What is life, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare - and take pictures!

I like this shot and the focus choice is outstanding. Very well done.
