Playing in the rain yesterday with a long lens for macro. This isn't the sharpest capture I got, probably, but I rather like the softness.

Gorgeous, evocative, almost ethereal shot, Cindy! Personally, I prefer this to your PDA version, but then again, I'm artistically challenged.

Good light,

Thanks, Craig. I prefer this one too, in this case.

Hi

I like images that have receding DOF looks and hence this is right up my street - I guess the more traditional butterfly shooter would like the eye/head more in focus, but personally this works very well for me

All the best
Matthew

Thank you Matthew...and everyone. I am new to macro, but that said, my goal is not going to be, most likely, very traditional. I appreciate everyone's perspective from all angles, so to speak.

Lovely combination of BF and blooms. Such a dreamy and peaceful mood portrayed here, Cindy!
