Thats quite effective Kris, my only gripe is I'd like to have seen all the ivy in the foregound in focus, the nearest leaves at the bottom are dropping off a bit.
Difficult with limited Dof using tubes I know, but if its in the garden I'd have another go.

I like the combination you've used Kris. I've tried pairing a 135mm with the smallest extension tube and it works well. I like the subject to camera distance you maintain and, of course, the depth of field which is good but not too critical.
Nicely observed.

My guess this one needs greater DOF too. Same lens/camera combo.

Sorry - that does nothing for me - the other one appealed far more .
I don't think we are seeing the ivy as well as we could be this time - could it be the angle of the shot ?
Sorry for carping

Yes, in this one the slab on which the ivy is growing is at 45 degrees to the camera. I was trying to get fresh green ivy leaves on a background of blurred yellow cowslips. The problem is, of course, that the more one stops down the lens to get more of the ivy in focus, the less blurred and abstract the background becomes.
Oh well, back to the drawing board. At least the ivy/cowslips/slab are only 15 yards from my door.

Having written off the last shot more several people on flickr have commented on how they like it! Oh well, swings and roundabouts as always.
