Hi,

I was wondering did you use a macro? if so what'd you focus on? I took a similar picture like this with a macro extention and either my spikes were in focus and the middle blurry or the other way around.I'm going to combine the two to get an all focused picture but woulda liked to get it on the camera the first time. #9444051
