Flower #2

Another mystery flower, and I'm back to my usual close-up with selective focus on a macro lens for this one.

I love having a macro lens as it opens up a whole new minature world that can be as entrancing as a grand landscape and intriguing as an abstract.

I used to use extension tubes on a 50mm prime lens, which were OK, but limiting on maximum aperture and light. The 100mm macro is much nicer to use!
