This is an Engleman's Prickly Pear cactus flower. My scanning & PS skills have improved just enough that I finally got an image that approaches the slides vibrance.

F5, 105mm f/2.8 Micro, tripod, E100VS

All comments greatly appreciated. Thanks

Nice. Great color and detail where it is needed. Nice exposure for the yellows.

This is outstanding. The DOF here is phenomenal, certainly the aperture wasn't f/2.8 as indicated. Probably more like f/22 or 32.
