My goodness, what colors!

If I had male and female stamens, I'd never get any photography done! :D

The Raynox site Quotes the Strength as 6.9x at full Zoom and 110mm focal length, this image is near full frame, I can not use the lens below 6x magnification without vinagetting but it is still pretty flexible, I do have a higher magnification lens 20x and 30mm :shock:, but all I could get on this shot was the ball and it has no DOF.

Superb image, Paul :!: :D

Yellow and purple (violet) are complementary colors on the color wheel. Each color makes the other more intense and this image has intense colors :!: :D

Congrats on being chosen for the Administrator's Appreciation Gallery. :D

Best regards, :D
