Closeup of a Tiger

Almost a click-bait title for an image of a Tiger Lily I shot yesterday I liked the backlighting in this view of the blooms.

C&C always welcome.

amazing depth of field. Macro lens or a long telephoto (with or w/o extension tube)?

Thanks - I shot this handheld with a 100-400mm at 285mm from 6 ft. 1/500s @ f/9.0 ISO 200. No extension tube.

Very nice image Ian, great colours and the backlight adds to the overall effect.

Tiger lillies are one of my favorite flowers . You did a great job of making a good composition of the tiger, for some reason I always struggle with them and Hibiscus just becaus eof their shapes.

Thanks Kevin - the backlighting was what inspired the shot.

Thanks Joe - the backlighting made it easier to isolate a bloom for the composition. It can be hard to isolate a subject otherwise with the density of their flowers.
