Can you tell me how you took the shot - was the flower cut - did you pin it into position to hold it? What lighting did you use? Did you do any digital retouching?

Thanks,
Pete #1000434

Hi again Pete,

This shot was taken with my 100mm macro lens with the camera on a tripod in my back garden. I just went in as close as I could to where I could still focus right up to the edge of the petal and used a remote cable to trigger the shutter. It was taken `in situ` on a very calm day with overcast sky. With regard to retouching all I ever do is a little levels adjustment if required and slight sharpening as I shoot with no in camera adjustments re contrast, sharpening etc.
Hope this is the info you want.

Yes, it's very helpful !!! I liked the depth of field that you got in the shot ! I am a firm believer in planning and getting the shot you want instead of "fixing" the shot on the computer afterwards !!!

Thanks very much - I'll continue to watch your site for more shots.
