Borrowed a friend's extension tube, attached it to my 70-200 lens and shot a few flowers around the yard. Here are some results, mostly taken at 200mm:

I prefer the 2nd daisy over the first. Nice uncluttered background, with the whole flower in focus. Too much of the first OOF in my opinion.

The orchid (?) is pretty sharp as well and an interesting aspect.

Thanks Bernie and Russell,

The 1st was at 2.8 so there's only a very thin DOF, some people like OOF areas, others don't! I like them personally, so if anyone has a spare 85mm F1.2 lying around, send it this way! :D
