K-1, Sigma 180 Macro, AF540FGZII flash, handheld, heavy crop.

looks like you are coming to grips with it, Michael... good work!

Thank you, the Sigma is about 2.5 times the size of the DFA 100 Macro WR. It requires a lot more effort to keep it steady. The lens also has a very shallow depth of field. I tried some flower shots with DA 35 macro on my K3. They did not come as nice as your though.

Very well done, I like highly saturated colors and that red really works.
