I'm jealous. Our parks are just grass and trees - no flowers anywhere. This is lovely, Jack.

Wonderfully observed, Jack. The DOF is superb and the delicacy of the flowers so beautifully captured. A real joy to view

This is a treat to the eyes. All said and done, this is a most wonderful shot.

@Laurie: It really was delicate, Laurie. As you well know, sometimes photographs can be a little deceiving, but not in this case. The reason for the selective focus was to try to emphasize the delicacy.
Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada
this is another remarkably done photo. So glad I took a few minutes to check in before heading out for my weekend. No doubt you'll be capturing more of these amazing shots over the weekend -- enjoy

You jumped right into this one. I think you need to change your screen name to world wide jack. Wherever I go on Am3, you've already been there : ] best...jerry

@ordinaryimages: I may have gotten there ahead of you when it comes to commenting today, but in everything else, I'm always at least two steps behind you, Jerry!!!
Don from spokane, United States
I'm glad you're taking advantage of the present abundance of flowers to shoot. We don't have many around here yet. Yours is a fine close up with detail and color I always like.

Great flower and well captured. Hope to see some beautiful flowers this weekend on the Harrisburg Photowalk.

@dogilicious: I certainly look forward to seeing what you come back with. Have a great time. I assume that that is Andy Smith's Photowalk.
Mariana from waterloo, Canada
beautiful . very delicate composition with great dof !

@Mariana: Thank you, Mariana. I am so pleased to finally have discovered you. You are a marvelous addition to the aminus3 community. The range of what you have posted is amazing.
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
nice one jack.....like the use of the blur (wide aperture?) on this....
17 Apr 2009 10:24pm
@Susan: My hunch is that I stuck on the Canon 500D macro filter. I remember having it with me, but can't remember if I used it for this shot. But I must have; otherwise, I don't think that I could have gotten that selective focus with an f/5.0. I'm terrible when it comes to taking notes. If it doesn't get imbedded in the EXIF, it's lost for good; at my age, you don't even have to make excuses any more for a lousy memory :)
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
Another beauty!!!
Love the selective focus. Gorgeous colours...

@JJ: Hope that you have good luck tomorrow.
amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I'm always floored by the depth and clarity of that D700... that full frame sensor is incredible. It's also a magnificent tool for the right photographer... Excellent, Jack!!!

@amy: It is so cool to have you back in Am3 stream.
