Pigeon in a Petunia Patch at Union Square Park

Today I purchased a new Canon 50mm Macro lens. It is very light weight and compact - much easier to use than my Canon 100mm Macro lens and it appears to be just as sharp with a wider shooting angle. This photo is just one of a number of test shots I took today. I like the whimsical feeling of this shot.

An example of a flower macro can be seen at http://www.pbase.com/hjsteed/image/34688673 .

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/500s f/8.0 at 50.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I've heard of a lonely little petunia in an onion patch...this puts another spin on the old song. Congratulations on your new lens, Hubert, the heliotrope has come out beautifully too.

Looks like you new lens is really nice.

Very pretty photo and I love the pigeon statute.
