Last day of aperture

From the bouquet I got for my birthday today (do you like how I oh-so-subtly slipped that in there so you would all wish me a happy birthday?)

Shot with 100mm macro lens on tripod. F2.8:

CC always appreciated!

    Gorgeous! I prefer the first shot, the dof is fabulous, I love shooting macro too and seem to use f/2.8 a lot. That 100mm is a great lens! Happy Birthday!!!
