New Rose

Nice shot and colours. It shows how critically shallow the depth of field becomes in close up work; I get the impression that the rear fully opened rose was approximately 100mm (4 inches) behind the subject rose bud, yet even at f16 the rear rose is becoming out of focus which may well have been your creative intention.

Thanks Photon, for your nice comments. You are correct about the shallow D of F. I focused on the water dropplets in the forground so that the full rose would provide a background for the new rose.
