Thanks for your comments. I agree it would have been better if centered more. This flower was, however, four inches off the ground in the middle of a patch of prickly pear cactus. I did get some shots that were composed better, but did not as clearly portray the detail I was looking for, such as the grains of pollen. My main objective was to show how "cool" the Optio S is, as you put it, and that is why I picked this shot and submitted it without any fixing up in PhotoShop.
