Canon 100 2.8 macro.
I just got it 2 days ago and I am very happy with it. This flower is a wild one, on a fence on the side of a road nearby.
Side effect is an interesting 3D effect.

Great closeup. The beautiful touch of red/orange/yellow in the center subject is really popping out of the image. The pink is really helping to bring out the colors of the center. Great gradutation of colors in there. You can almost feel the texture there also.
Surreal. I can see the obvious center to the flower, pretty sharp and detailed. The sudden shift to extremely blurry petals is jarring. Although my eyes know what it is, they can't pull it all together. Perhaps better lighting - less light, from multiple sources/levels - would illuminate the details of the cetner better, and make a more gentle transition to the petals.
