Stunning macro! And did you use a tripod? If not, you must have rock-steady hands to take a shot with a 300mm lens (equivalent to 450mm on a full-size sensor!) at 1/200th.

Thank you Stevie!!! No tripod. But the imagestabilizer in the lens makes a real good job and this is the best of three photos I took in continuous mode.

@platzwart: Sorry for answering so late. That's quite simple. The blossom was in bright sunlight and the background in the shadow.
