Another one of my favourites, lovely colours and composition! It reminds me a lot of the 50/3.5 taken picture that appears in the 0173 (i.e. January, 1973) Olympus OM System Lens System brochure; great shot!

Looks nice, but the background look more attractive than the subject.

Very nice tulip shot. I especially like the swirled texture of the background petals. Did you have to break off the front petals to position the lens?

Great contrast with the red, cream and black. Interesting and well done. Thanks

Super composition and lighting. Some say that ring flash gives illumination that is too flat but that doesn't seem to be the case here! In fact, I like the 3-D effect. Some of it is probably due to your clever use of focus and DoF.

Yet another tulip. Olafo must be in heaven! Unique and excellent point of view and perspective for a tulip. Composition well executed. The center seems to project itself out of the image and it has a very real feeling of depth. Very good DOF for an image shot with this much magnification and very well executed! Background is very interesting, almost a Van Gogh quality to the whorls. Well done!

Like others, I was very taken by the colour of the out of focus red area complementing the foreground. This is a terrific shot, mainly because those red swirls look like brushstrokes and give a lovely effect. Would look great framed on the wall.
