Yay! my eye went right to the lovely peonies! This looks like a lovely, well-cared-for garden. Sweet shot!

Comment:
Post-processing is admirable. Poppy seed pods are not that big, maybe there is a specialist bird out there w/a taste for poppy seeds. ??

Orchids! these pretty green ones are irresistible. You could try holding something like a piece of white cardboard in front of the flash, to bounce /diffuse it, next timee.

Day Five

Comment:
I remember when I discovered the focal plane. For me it was a personal discovery, since I have no formal training in photography. It's so important, yet nobody talks about it--yours are the first comments I've seen. I'm impressed! Since I capture flowers outdoors, I usually can't move the flower, I have to position the camera. I know from experience that very small changes in the camera angle & position can have a very noticeable effect on the shot.
