Hi all,
Here's a shot from my father's greenhouses once again.  These cacti have been flowering on and off for the last month or so, but I've wanted some shots like this for a while, esp. with the detail advantages of the D800E over my D3S for this kind of subject.

Depth of field here is over 2 cm - that doesn't sound much but it is pretty massive for macro close to minimum focusing distance).

Nikon D800E/200f4micro/cpl
ISO 100 1/15 f/14
Stack of 8 frames

Thanks for looking!

Wonderful stack for a subject that can prove difficult for stacking. Love the colors and all the micro details.
