Macro of Dandelion Puff..than Solarized (setting 1, or lowest)...
Olympus E-510, 40-150 Mk1 with +2 Close-Up lens. ISO 400. 1/640s at f/10, Zoom at 150mm, No Flash

When I first got this +2 Close-Up lens, I wasn't sure how narrow the AF ability to focus would be.. But The AF on the Camera worked fine..AAMOF, at most FLs, there is a few inches of play from INF to Close-up with AF/Lens combo....That allows me to shoot and still move in/out with the AF being able to focus just fine.

The Actual DOF is fairly thin, but at f/10, a little movement on my side is minimized, and I get good center focus.

I too like this shot and your post processing. I was thinking of shooting this same subject earlier this year but didn't. My grand-daughter has been fixated on them this year. (She's 2-1/2 yo.)
