@blessingscaptured, thanks! I will try to get outside and try it with a more narrow aperture to see if I can get the whole flower in focus as you mentioned.
@jamesstaddon, could you explain what you mean by “back-focused”?
Here’s the first pic in B&W. I find it interesting to see it in that perspective; my brother-in-law’s mom has an eye disorder and one of the effects of that disorder is that she is color-blind, so this is how she’s sees everything all the time! She has never seen color in her entire life!
