Great wide open performance for both! The shallower DOF in the cron
shot wins out IMO...excellent "Bouquet" as well.  ;-)

>>That one works extra well with the simpler background and shows the
delicate structures and tones nicely Barney. Did you try a version with
slightly wider framing (so outer petals not cropped) too?
Since you've declared Sunday also a flower day, I had a try here Sunday
comparing my APO Summicron 75 ASPH on M9 to the Makro Planar 100 (on my
D7000).
The Planar on APS-C is effectively twice as long of course and benefits
from the greater working distance. Both shots at f/2 and uncropped. Same
developing. I left them larger than usual for a better look too.
