Would be nice to see the full flower, imho. But either way, it is a beautiful shot, and it is from an Oly AZ-1, wow!

@Howard F.: actually, on hindsight that camera's pretty good, prolly even better than my casio ex100 lol! it's my mom's. pretty low F2.9 for an old camera too. photos from it doesnt hv much noise. Tiny lens thou, dunno how it'll affect the lighting.

i think i liked the center of the flower, looks like there's a fly/bee's head there, then framed by the bg flowers. i get what u mean abt the cropping thou =) shld hv stepped back a lil n include slightly more of the flower. thanks for commenting!
