This is a lovely image. The colours are obviously very photogenic, that goes without saying, but the true strength of the photo is in the sharp textures. They almost look like organic cotton buds when zoomed in this close.

My hubby gave me one for Mother's Day last year so I planted it and then I went out and bought one more. I had about 5 or 6 plants this year, so next year I should have a nice collection of them.

I was happy with the detail on this one too. The depth of field is SO small when all the rings are on - it's very difficult to catch the exact spot without a tripod.

The damn wind kept shaking the flowers and I was having a hard time! LOL!

So there is little depth of field with the rings. I imagine this does reduce the control you can have over the clarity of background objects. Does it feel like a major restriction? I was tempted to buy those rings as they did appear to be cheap and effective.

I imagine with a genuine close-up lens there's more control over the DOF.

I do feel pretty restricted when I use the macro. You see the macro happens with all 4 rings. I think that with only 2 or 3 rings the DOF is not quite so restricted.

I don't know how this compares with a real Macro lens as I've never used one :(

someday I might be able to get one, but for now the rings will have to do.

I think they are still worth the investment though - like you said - they are not expensive and they do give you another option.

Wonderful detail!

Oh, and "God is thinking of you!" ;)

I reckon I should make the ring purchase when money becomes more available. No Handie, not Lord of the Rings, nor am I getting engaged, but the focal rings.

Sorry, I just felt like landing on you a lame gag. Forgive me.
