bottles, thanks! There was quite a bit of wind blowing and the flowers were bobbing around quite a bit. The secret, I think, was using the teleconversion lens and the close-up lens in combo, so I could get back maybe 2-3 feet and have a deeper DOF. Then it was just a matter of timing - catching the bloom at one of its rare still moments.

Jerry, this is a wonderful close-up of a beautiful flower! I assume this was taken outside and I know how hard it is to get good focus with the flower constantly moving with the slightest air movement. You really did a great job of focusing and I love the lighting!
