1st attempt with a flower

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at this sort of thing. Had only just jumped in my car when i thought "hey why not give this ago before i shot off"
Original was taken with a 600mm (300mm x 2) lens with no tripod
1/256 exposure
Plus it was windy (Typical Invercargill :rolleyes: )

Not too sure on the vignetting and dof. What does everyone think? C&C more than wlecome

P.S. Sorry about the state of the flower, im the worlds worst garden :rolleyes:

I like the shot and think the 600mm was a good idea. I wish the flower was in a little better shape, but nice first try.

Thanks Greg, yeah i think i might have to snoop in a few people gardens instead of my own :D
