Great picture anthony. Congratulations. I've added it to my favourites.
Did you use close up lenses? What were your settings?
Congratulations again.

That's a fantastic macro shot with wonderfully contrasting colours! A most deserving winner. Well done!!

Hi,

Thanks for the complements.

As far as the settings went… I was in VIVID color, color saturation +3, contrast 0, ISO 100 (those are most often my usual settings)

No close up lens on this one, just the 7i set to 200mm macro.

No much cropping either, I cropped it a little bit… just to zoom in slightly and correct for a little off-centerness.

Thanks again,
Anthony

Congrats. A rewarding accomplishment. I along with many others here, I'm sure, have just submitted my best photo. :-)
 
Anthony,

Congratulations! What a wonderful picture! The minolta comments were right on, great colors + wonderful use of DOF.

Unfortunately, digital cannot compete with traditional film (at least at the actual situation, maybe in a not near future).

100 years of research and development in traditional film processing cannot be canceled by few years of digital enthusiasm.

I am an happy owner of a 7i, but when sometimes I see my Velvia slides taken with Nikon 20mm or 80-200 IF-ED, I cannot say: they are the same. I am objective (or at least I think so). The comparison digital-film is becoming a sort of religion war, I don't want so.

Nice Photo, Anthony and thanks for bringing my attention to Minolta Photo of the week. I have submitted a couple of my own photos. There doesn't seem to have been any F100 winners so we will see how it goes.
