    Thank you, Nandakumar. This was a test of a new lens that looks pretty promising as a replacement of my non-VR, and very old 400mm

    A particularly creative juxtaposition of the stem with four blossoms on it and the other stem with no blossoms. Consider eliminating the tiny bit of blossom at the very bottom of the frame.

    The set up for this:

    -Two paper towels taped to South facing window
    -Fake Flowers taped to chair back
    -Reflector, Jerry-rigged to plant stand
    -Me securely seated in recliner (feet up)

    This photography is rough!!

    Ouch... i never thought that was a synthetic flower set; If gladiola is available around, why not give a go with an original one

    Personally, I would never have tried making such a difficult photo without use of a cup holder.
