Olympus EPL-1 ,Kmart (Focal) 28mm 2.8 lens Correction: I used a Yashinon DX with a reverse ring to get Macro DOF and bokeh. The bokeh would have been a mess with the Focal.

1. Beautiful shot!

[alfredo]

2. Thanks. It has taken at least a year to warm to this lens,

But I find I use it a lot recently. It's the closest I have to a nifty 50.

3. That is

beautiful. The colors are gorgeous !

6. Thanks. Olympus JPEG colors are very good.

4. Nice Shot!

That's a great picture. I like the focus on the middle flower and the depth of field blurring of the other two. Depth of field right? I'm not so great at jargon yet.

7. Thanks. Depth of field is the correct term.

5. Well done!

How much post-processing was done on it?

[alfredo]

8. Not that much. I made a mistake in the description of the lens.

I used a reverse ring on a Yashinon DX, not the Focal.

I think I just did a light tweak to levels.

9. Absolutely gorgeous!

10. Thank you.

11. GASP! What a fabulous

shot. And as a photographer, I do know that you took some time to set up this shot! A lot of care and thought went into this photo's execution! Great job!

12. Thank you. It was the only one that turned out. Handheld macro is hit, miss, and miss.
