Shot this in our kitchen, got the wife a bunch of flowers for her birthday and I was attracted to the red as usual. It is lite by the sun left and rear, and a white piece of paper to the right. The background is a black table mat of the kitchen table.

Not one of your best Snappy, the background is great, but the flower is merely okay (very bright highlights!)

The highlights on the stem, distract me, further processing, me think's.

Just buy the wife some more flowers and try again, the light was too strong for this sort of shot, you need bright but overcast days for stuff like this. Bright light just causes too many highlights.

Might not be perfect but it's still a nice sharp macro shot. Good lens, I should think.
Best wishes,

Andrew
