Flowers - Edit Added

[jgs001]

My OH was given some flowers. Would have been churlish not to use them so I popped the Raynox on the 55-250 (100mm is about 1:1 with this combo). They were shot with available light only, living room ceiling lights.

1) A lilly of some sort.

I don't know what the next three are, but I just kept getting closer
2)

3)

4)

5) Look into the heart of the flower. I don't know what it is.

Thanks for looking, C&C please

number 1 could do with a little more room to the side of the bit in focus, otherwise its great Number 2 out of the others for me

Thanks very much Ruth, is this any better ?

Nice set, #2 for me the rest need just a little more DOF for me nice pics though.

Agree with the above, No2 to me is the best of the bunch (no pun intended!)

Thank you. John, I've not found an easy way of focus stacking as yet on the mac, nor do I have a set of rails to take the shots with. Given the effects of diffraction, is it worth stopping the lens down even more, say f18 or f20 for a little more DOF ? I guess it's best for objects like this to keep at around 100mm on the telephoto lens.
