Absolutely beautiful.

Depth of field, or lack of depth, adds so interesting challenges.

I have been doing some similar work with extention tubes. I find the biggest problem is getting anything into focus. The focus ring only adjusts through something like the depth of field, so I end up trying to move the camera back and forth through distances of a couple of mm to get focused.

It is a pain, but the photos are truly worth it.

Aha, shootin' wide open, eh? The Ursula school of Macro? I like!

Very well done. The softness is well used and fits this type of shot.

One nitpick, that little hair on one of the middle stigmas.

Love the dreamy softness of this shot, awesome shot

eta Crit. Analysis: the only thing I would like to see would be just a slight increase of sharpness/focus at the top of a couple of the stamens

I love shallow DOF and this is just stunning.....
I am surprised that you do mot have a macro lens, well I don't think you have one.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I love your images, but you know that.
I love this style that you do so very well.
The colors of this one, are truly breathtaking.....
