Sometimes a feeling is too hard to define, but I love Svetlana's #1.
The focus of the flower centre, the oof rest of it, the wonderful colour?
Thank you Svetlana for something that reaches out to me.
Maybe also I was just listening to this helped pull a few strings.

@ EP1121
You, and jamesmd, are convincing me that for flowers a wide angle is just as good as a macro.

Thank you sooo much.
I am pretty sure it is because of the music you were listening.
Beautiful peace BTW.

@brettania - Thanks! The 28/2 can focus quite close, which also helps when shooting flowers.

Completely agree - firstly, EP1121, very nice set captured with wide angle. Secondly I have used the sigma 8-16, at the 16 end, for flowers and insects and works very nicely.
