 This is a new camera and lens, and it's only the 2nd time I have taken them out. I love the OM telephoto lenses because they have such a close focus distance that you can do close-up photography. Not being a true macro, not sure how this will do. But I was so excited with how this turned out, given I also used my 1.4x TC. It was shot off a tripod, but the effective focal length for this shot is 1125mm.

Not much done in editing. Hit my starting preset in LR, made a few adjustments from that and cropped slightly for better composition

For the hidden commenter, it is not rotated at all.
