there is a leaf lower right pointing off to the right the next leaf that points up and right is in perfect (to me) focus near the bottom. The rest of the flower looks out of focus.

It could be jpg compression, It could be my laptop, and it could be my lack of sleep... [shrug]

Looks to me like the focus is slightly behind the stamens, maybe could have been just a little better if it were on the stamens. It is beautiful, however. I also like the first three, it's too bad the movement made them a little soft. I use a dowel that's about 18" long with a clothespin on one end to hold flowers still. Just clip the clothespin on the flower's stem and use gaffer's tape to attach the other end to a tripod leg. This works well for me anyway.

Thanks guys. I have a nice big flat screen I'm looking at it on and the focus seems to be on the one in the center which would be all the way in the back, I see what you are saying.
