I won't hate you, and I don't necessarily disagree. But I didn't bring a tripod, and even if I had, I couldn't have achieved critical sharpness on the second flower with this lens. I'm guessing that at f22, the second flower wouldn't have been totally out of focus, just annoyingly soft. it probably would have taken a different lens to achieve two sharp flowers. A wider lens that focuses close. Perhaps my M50/4 macro could have gotten the job done. Even then, it might have been tough. And the mess of leaves and twisted stems in the background would also have been sharp. And the second flower would have been quite a bit more distant. I shot this at about 140 mm with the DA 50-200, so the rear flower is sucked in pretty tight. Hard to say for sure what other options might have produced. Thanks for looking.
