Your shots are always awesome, though I would´ve expected a deeper DOF from you. Any particular reason you kept it so shallow?

Great shot!

Amazing capture!

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Bret, the DOF is so shallow as the wind kept moving the flower. This is why the shutter speed and ISO are so high. No matter how good your tripod or plant clamps in a high wind you sometimes have to give up and try a different approach.

I just tried to get the tips of the centre of the flower in focus and use the shallow DOF to to give a nice background.

Awesome, indeed! And the colors are just amazing.

Interesting! I probably would´ve given up, but you clearly have more patience than I do. It shows in your photography!
