chuckn246, the first picture is great, that flower in the front is right in your face in a way that you can't get with a macro lens. I assume it was shot at f4, minimum focus distance? I think having just one blossom in focus with fewer distractions in the background is what sets it apart from the other pictures you posted.

That is one of my favorites too! Just checked the EXIF and it was shot at f9, 1/125 sec and ISO 100. Love this lens

If you're ever in the neighborhood I can show you this spot. Pretty easy to get to!

Sharing some of the DA15 shots I've done so far this month for the Single In October challenge...

Some shots from an older series processed only now. Kinda repetitive but I wanted to capture different moments of this sunset.

Nice. I'm thinking of doing the 15 for nov challenge. I really miss the 14, need to get used to the 15 now. What's with the stupid lens cap?
