Beautiful picture.

Too bad I'd have to sell my house to afford that lens.

The picture is good. One day I'll buy the 300mm f4.

John,

Nice shot. Critiqueing is a matter of personal preferences. For me there is too much unused space on the left in the image. I'm not sure what your f-stop was but I would have liked to have seen the back flower a little more in focus. I think your focus point was probably the first flower. Colors are good.

Have you tried a vertical crop even at the risk of losing some of the flower on the lower right. I had a quick look at it like that and it was more appealing to me.

Wish I had that lens when I started photography ;).

Nice colourful, sharp shot.

Thanks for the advice Sheldon, I might try that this evening and see how it looks. I should have provided more info in my original post. I was more concerned with sizing the image at the time. This was one of my first shoots with this lens. It is an amazing piece of glass. I'm at work right now, but can provide additional information later. I appreciate your input and the comments from others as well.
