    Composition-wise, three is the ideal number of flowers, which also divide the image in thirds. It would have been better with a fuller bloom in the centre and the water further to the left toward the main centre of focus.

    Horticulture does not always co-operate and I admit to being a terrible gardner. My wife does all the planting.

    By the way, this was a hanging plant from a wooden "fence" near my deck at the back of my house. Shot at f22 at about 1/6 of a second at ISO 100 with a f.2.8 18 to 50mm lens.

    yes.... fuller bloom in the centre was my intended implication..... still a great picture though..

    Is that the Sigma Lens? If so how do you find it?

    Yes, that is a Sigma lens and I like it very much. The 50mm end produces a 75mm equivalent which is great for portraiture along with the 2.8 which can blur out the background. Bokeh is good as well. With macro throughout too and the equivalent of 27mm at the wide angle end, it becomes an overall good lens to have on the camera most of the time.

    The polarizer for it by the way was around $200 but extremely thin, high quality, break, scratch and stain resistant multi-coated glass which transmits a lot of light through it.

    I am waiting for the Sigma 70mm to 200mm 2.8 macro which will give me great flexibility through to the equivalent of 300mm in fairly low light.

    Lose the background and the chain, and bring up the eyes and you would have a good photo.
