Today my quest was to make a nice shot of red flower and retain as much details and red hues as possible in post processing and the nice smooth transition to black background... What do you think?

Shot at indirect daylight with 5DII + APO-Macro-Elmarit 2.8/100 wide-open.

Do you wanna actually get an answer regarding the composition, picture quality or performance of the lens?

Is there any need to make a comment? Smile

I would say only this == a little bit more brightness but again, that's not an issue and that could be my monitor.

The quality is simply stunning!

Red is usually very difficult to capture with digital cameras. You did it perfectly. Only needs more DOF for my taste.

Thank you.

I'm mainly interested in the picture quality.

The hibiscus is not exactly photogenic flower (it's very uneven), but suggestions regarding composition are welcome.

And the lens alone does not need much promotion Wink

I've tried smaller apertures to get more DOF, but then there was too many details in the image, so in the end I decided for this image.
