I first saw one of these about a year and a half ago in Southern California.
Very impressive plant and you did an outstanding job of capturing it. My
shots could not get close to the depth of field needed as I was shooting
Kodachrome 25 film. The smaller sensor on digital really expands the depth
of field to get the whole thing in pretty good focus. Perhaps #2 is a bit
better in this regards as it is further away from the camera, or at least
not zoomed in as closely. Great lighting and you exposed perfectly. Nice.
I'd like to use this in my photo class if I may.
