Marnie, For all the problems you listed, the shot is very nice. Since you haven't really shot much with a real macro (closeup), some of the shakiness is just the magnification from the closeup. That is why using a tripod is so useful in these situations. It really helps with movement/shakiness and also helps you make sure your final composition is what you want.
But, overall, this is a very nice shot. I think that I would like to see a little more or a little less DOF - IOW, have only the foreground flower in focus or have most all the flowers in focus. Of course, that is one of the niceties of the DSLR, shoot 'em all and evaluate later. Good job! -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, April 24, 2004, 9:33:31 AM, you wrote: Eac> Well, it would help if you had the right url, so here it is.
