Description
No, this is not a Brneo Highlands shot... yet! I'm just uploading some stuff pre-Borneo Highlands. This is one of the first few test-shots I took with my Macro lense the very next day after I bought it. I went out into my garden and took a couple of snaps here and there and this is one of the results!I really like the contrast in this shot. It's not very sharp, but that kinda adds a more 'art' or painting-like feel to the shot which I rather like
This was the second shot I took on a new roll of Fuji 400, and before this I was taking some shots to finish up a roll of Kodak 400 and I must say, the colours on the Fuji were significantly more magnificent!Lemme know what you think!
Camera: Canon EOS 300
Lense: Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Settings: f/2.8, dont remember shutter speed
Film: Fuji Superia X-TRA 400
Photoshop: Scanned, removed dust, adjusted saturation to photo quality, border

this is great. the sharpness and focus of the orange complements well with the blurryness of the green. I'm looking at this from newest to oldest, and this has been my favorate so far.
VERY well done. = ]

I love that the background is a total blur of bright green. All the colors are just wonderful.
Great work!

such a nice shot..i agree with you on the blur-painting-like effect...but i would've loved to see this in a crisp shot..(i'm a sucker for clarity & sharpness 
other than that, awesome capture...i love how the orchids seem to be peering up and looking intently at you

I love how they're just floating in a sea of green 
I've heard Fuji films are the best you can get... For pretty much all conditions

beautiful colors...and as you said in the desc, the little out-of-focusness isn't bad.

Nice picture. Out of curiosity how much does your particular macro lense costs? I ask because I might purchase a Canon SLR in the near future.
