OK; http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/temp/flower.html I put the original and the cropped version side by side. I agree with Jostein that both are nice pictures and which is "better" is entirely up to the viewer. I don't think the crop benefits the picture as much as I expected. BTW what kind of film did you use? I like the shades of purple near the top edges of the flower. > The reason I have used wide open quite often lately is that I have seen > many macro shots in Japanese magazines and many of them were shot wide > open, or near wide open. They are quite different from what I have seen in > US magazines. I like shooting macro near wide-open. It isolates the subject and makes the background easier to deal with, although it does present the challenge of preserving sharp focus where you want it. I can't live without DOF preview.
