Una bonita composición Meerkat, con buena nitidez, adecuado control de la luz y un excelente DOF, brindando un foco perfecto sobre la totalidad de la flor y un OOF que permite un fondo suave y difuso.
Saludos... Ricardo
Nice composition Meerkat, with good sharpness, appropriate control of the light and an excellent DOF, offering a focus perfect on the entirety of the flower and an OOF that it allows a soft and diffuse bottom.
Greetings... Ricardo
