    Got a spider2 for calibration.
    Tried it out on red.
    I think it would have been a bit better with DOF a bit closer to the front.
    What do you think?

    I think DOF on just the front leaves would look odd. We expect to see the middle of the flower the clearest, because I think we perceive it as the most important part of the flower. Kinda like the eyeball has to be in focus on all face pictures or else it looks odd.

    WOW!
    Many thanks for the comments....
    My complaint is with the petal on the lower left.
    It goes in and out of the DOF.
    I guess I'm just getting picky in my old age LOL

    Great snoid! The focal point is just where it needs to be to have this looking like a charm that it is.
    well done!

    Congrats on the sticky! Beautiful shot. I think that touch of green makes it look even redder. – TF

    Great shot, especially for just "trying it out!" The texture and lighting really set it apart.

    Congrats on the Sticky.
