Small flowers

About 2/3 of the frame; the left edge of what you see is the left edge of the image as taken.
This one is the whole frame.
Flowers were quite teeny, about 2 cm across in total. Also quite low; I was sitting on my heels to get low enough for these.
No matter how much I wish it were an f1.8 instead of an f2.8 design, I have to admit that there is little to complain about in the rendering from the DA35.

Thank you!

I can just see, fifty years from now, some botanist somewhere sentencing a grad student to building an automatic flower identifier and using the blogspot/picassa databases to do it.
