Very captivating image ... Thanks for sharing too. Can you share what are your most used or favorite apertures with the 100mm macro?

Thanks hongman.

Aperture depends on what I'm shooting. For flower or insect close-up shots like this I usually find myself using apertures in the mid range. Depends on how much DOF I'm looking for in a particular image.

It seems to me you've captured a whole lot of DOF with F7.1 here. Great sharpness just where it belongs. Very well done.

So many photos, so little time, but I had to stop by and say this is an outstandingly beautiful shot. Thanks for posting.
