Your two posts today are wonderful. Amazingly sharp and clean. ISO 3200 and no noise. How did you accomplish that? Wonderful depth of field at f/22 without any loss of sharpness due to the small aperture. Pretty nice. My only bone to pick on both shots is that the flowers are too bright. They vie for the eye's attention with the bee. I would have either dialed down their brightness or add a little vignette. I find the first post much better because of that lovely dark background and fewer distracting flowers.

Thanks for posting and showing what is possible.

Thanks very much.

Those flowers are such a pale pink they look white at first glance, and they have slick smooth light reflecting surfaces. To top it off they were in direct overhead sunlight. The dark background is an out of focus cedar tree.

I ran an anti-noise app at low setting, and the shutter speed is relatively low for that long a lens.

You are welcome. People do not realize how reflective the petals can be. I suspected you had denoised it. Nothing wrong with that.
