I like the second one, either it lost some sharpness when linking or needs a little sharpening on PP. Raj

Re: Lenten rose

the first one is good but as Raj has mentioned the second one is a bit soft

Re: Lenten rose

Thanks for the comments - do you think the softness is caused by using the extension tubes close-up?

Don't they give you a very, very thin DoF? Not that I have used them since I was a teenager.

Personally I prefer the first.

Yes, very little dof - lucky to be able to remember being a teenager!
