Seeing as this got naff-all response when I posted it in another thread, I thought I'd post it in a new one.
This is a Sun Rose (Cistus x purpureus) and was shot in my back garden on Sunday, in-between showers. I didn't really plan the shot as it was a demo for someone on here who'd requested a flower macro, but I'm actually getting more and more pleased with the result as the days roll on and non-photographers have been commenting quite positively.
5D | 100mm Macro | f/2.8 | 1/400 sec | ISO-50 | MF | Sun Rose [Cistus x purpureus]
It's by no means perfect, and I'll re-shoot it over the weekend to overcome a few of the niggles I have with it, but I'm relatively happy with the outcome from 5 minutes in the garden, dodging the rain.
What do you all think? Probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, and some will think it's a bit simplistic, but what do the rest of you think?
