Thanks birdie! Do you think it is out of focus? #18448Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Great work Carol - Aren't these things fun to watch? #18458Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
Thanks Damian. I'm amazed at how quickly these flowers change. I took this earlier this week and these were the first flowers coming out. Now the whole bush is covered with blossoms in all stages. #18460Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019

Thanks Carolyn! #18478Wolfgang Dolak May 26, 2019
Sorry for the delay, Carol. On my screen it seems to be just a tiny bit out of focus. Don't want to sound clever here, but maybe it got simply blurred when you pressed the release button. With this kind of macros it is always a good idea to use a tripod and the selftimer with at least three seconds delay. If you shoot with an SLR, the same applies. Prerelease the mirror also. This makes the difference!Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
