I couldn't resist photographing these snowdrops in our garden. They are not native and are nothing like what our UK friends see (usually two months earlier than this!), but it's about the best we can do given our significantly colder winters here in Ontario.

I'm always of two minds about including shooting info as i notice it's not often included on these forums. I've included it here because when I was new to photography, I found books from photographers like John Shaw, who included the info, amazingly helpful. While the settings can lead to recipe-shooting, when learning, it's helpful to know what works. After all, we can't always be re-inventing the wheel, especially when it's a rather documentary-style photograph like this is.
BTW, I chose 180mm as it seems to be ever so slightly sharper than 200mm at this short working distance. And yes, while my use of ƒ32 does reduce sharpness due to diffraction, it provides the DOF needed for this photograph. A bit of extra sharpening works wonders to clean up edges.
