Lovely.
In that enchanted setting even a bug looks kind of - sort of - attractive.

Thanks Mickey. I've been finding insects more interesting in the past few years. Mainly cause they're easier to shoot that birds  Gene |

Gene, you managed to get your focus just right and that's not easy when it's that shallow. Excellent.

Thanks Walker. I used the AF on the little digicam, but had to point it just right, and hope ...

I echo Walker's comment. Even if you use a tripod there's still flower movement in the breeze to contend with. Autofocus means you can do it in near snapshot time, but it has to be a camera where the AF works properly when close up. If you're camera let's you select the AFpoint, you can take the centre point to avoid having the camera think out a "better" focus point for you. Otherwise, as Gene said, hold your breath and hope. And take a few more of course.
