Lol, I know what you mean.  It must be the clean living that's giving you the steady hand...maybe that's where I'm going wrong! lol!  I love the subtlety of this.  You've really caught its delicate nature.  Well done, Steve.

Great DOF, complimented by the beautiful detail in the petals.

Just beautiful Janet - who needs a tripod when you can punch out something with this quality!       Geoff

Steve, Dave, Donny, Geoff, thanks for looking, always appreciated.

Hi Janet I think this might be my first visit to your gallery you have some beautifully presented flower photography this one is just great with super d.o.f but I still think you should try working with the tripod sometime you can't leave the poor thing in the box forever.  all the best   Gav.

Such a pure looking flower. Beautiful!
