Just testing my 5D and various lenses with 1.4TC and thought this backlit yellow hibiscus in our garden was a suitable candidate:
Comments and critique appreciated as usual.
Cheers

Nice shot Shelia, I really like the detail in the petals of the hibiscus. If I had to be picky, I'd prefer the leaf far RHS to be removed, as it adds a complication to a lovely smooth background.
(Is this without sharpening again ?) If so ... Wow!

nice pix ......... but needs to be a tad lighter so the background works a bit better and the colours of the flower stand out a bit more..........

This seems so detailed, and the tones seem so soft and subtle, and natural too, really like the color and tones, and the stem of the stamen(?) seems so SHARP!... Would just clone out the green "but" in the BR cnr and it's a pearler!
