Photographers Note:
I found a 35mm macro for sale for a mere $20.
Anyway for a $20 lens it seems to go ok.

Beware spring is coming up in Australia and Floriade is a flower festival that we have in Canberra every spring, so there may be more flower photos....

Nice shot! I'm a sucker for flower shots, and this is no exception :)

Be careful with your exposure, there are a few patches of overexposure here - particularly in the flowers on the right (remember check the histogram). The lighting is nicer here though, it's more directional. Focus is spot on, although again I think you might have benefitted from getting in closer. Also wondering about the blue spots in the top right - they're a bit distracting IMO. I think I might have tried for more DOF, you certainly weren't at the limits with the shutter speed here - why 1/1500th @ ISO400? I'd be at ISO100 with a far  narrower aperture myself I think, particularly considering the fact it's a 35mm...

Still for 20$ you really can't complain :D
