Was this flower about 12-mm (1/2-inch) across, or larger?

I wondered if you were going to question that. The flowers in the center are less than an eighth of an inch in diameter, however the overall pedals are about an inch each as this blossom is still opening. Does it require cropping so that only the center flowers show?

To show true macro of flower center, a closer photo must be captured, which will narrow DOF considerably. Or, you can crop existing close-up image to produce this macro, which retains decent DOF. Now the close-up image is needed to show scale of macro.
