Thank you! I found out that it must be that I got one of the DOF-circles right in the middle of the bluebell. I saw it afterwards, so it is sharper on the outside than the insight. Even though it's the same distance from the camera.

Thank you Kristina, I took this some years ago with an old lens my father in law had.

Location
This photo is taken in Sandefjord, Norway at the summer house belonging to my parents in law.Time
It's taken in the afternoon.Lighting
Just natural sunlight.Equipment
I used a Pentax K10D Limited etidtion with a Auto-Takumar 1:2/55. The lens was used backwards without reversal adapter. So I just hold it against the camera body, without a tripod.Inspiration
I love shooting macro, and combine new and old gear.Editing
It's slightly adjusted it in Photoshop Elements 10, and cropped it.In my camera bag
Now I mostly have a Pentax K-1 and different lenses, like HD PENTAX-D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 ED DC AW, SMC Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4. I also used a lot the Pentax K-3 and K 10-D Limited Edition together with the SMC Pentax-DA 18-250 mm. But I have about 40 Pentax lenses and several bodies, digital and film. So I have many options depending of what I'm shooting.Feedback
Try to go as low and close as you can to get a better perspective. Try to keep the background as clean as possible. Shoot many photos, so you are sure to get one with a perfect bokeh and sharpness.
