A very nice image. Its a little bit soft on the tips of the outer petals but i can live with that.

Thank you Barbara and Dean, I'm pleased you like it.
You are quite right about the petal tips, Dean; I should have raised the ISO to be able to increase the depth of field (probably only 2 or 3 cm at that distance) by stopping down more, as these are quite deep flower heads.

Thank you, PhotoPlay. The background can be quite distracting in this sort of shot, so it was darkened in Paintshop Pro.
