lovely photo. very nice warm, soft colours, the sort that you would expect after a summer downpour. Its good that you chose to focus on that specific point too.

Nice shot. The shallow DOF works well with this.

this is breathtaking - the delicate droplets, soft focus and the warmth of the colors work together so beautifully!

I wasnt aware of a difference between macro and closeup lenses. I suppose i've always been calling mine macro

I'm not sure of the technicalities, but I think you get more control with a true macro lens and the dof can be controlled. My problem was the Dimage A1 requires a minimum distance of ~35cm for macro shots with it's lens, which doesn't make it suitable for tight closeups. There may be a better solution than the Raynox lens available, but it only cost me around Β£30 and I can't complain with the results for that price

This is so beautiful.. the colors are so amazing here... very strange colors associated with leaves. What kind of planet is this?

It's a lily (hence the title), but it has quite thick petals that are almost leaf-life. I'm not sure on the exact type sorry. Thanks for the kind comments

this is a great shot , has a nice flow to it and the drops are crisp in contrast to the flower. just a comment about depth of field; its not huge, its extremely shallow with macro shots even at small apertures which is why focusing is so critical

I stand corrected then!

What's DoF?? And this is just so fresh! Nice focus and the colors are soft and warm. Great

Sorry for abbreviating - DoF is short for "Depth of Field" - the close-up lens I have always creates a huge DoF so if you move the camera even a tiny amount, you lose the focus where you wanted it.
Thanks for the comments
