    Geranium...

    Is the rest too blurry to support the extemely sharp flower? I tried removing the competing buds, but prefer it this way. Any comments or suggestions for improvement. I can reshoot. - TF

    I think the blur is magnified due to the halo'ing around the plant. I assume it's due to changing to background color. What technique did you use (if any)?

    In this case, I think it is too blurry.
    I see you are loving that lens but you don't have to shoot 2.8 just because you have it.
    Keep Shooting!

    Tough call, but I think it is just a bit over the top regarding the difference between the flower and the stem/buds.

    caleb - No BG change - very little PP. Here's the original with just the preset Lightroom settings.

    Frog - Oh, come on. I NEED to use it.

    jetrim - That's what I thought.
