Una Flor de Xochimilco

This was taken at an ecological reserve that I frequent with my family. I live near this park; I get very little opportunity to travel outside the city because of my diurnal duties, so this little oasis is sometimes as close as I get to divorcing my mind from the burden of urban living.

The DOF works really well in this shot.

The colours are so beautiful. Nice macro. No exif ?

@Jean-Benoît Maréchal: Thanks! For some reason, the EXIF gets lost in the conversion from TIFF to Jpeg. I don't know why and I would like to get a better idea of how to prevent this. My feeling is that it may be happening from the moment I convert from RAW. Any suggestions?

I can tell you that I used a Nikon D50 with a 50mm lens at 1.8/f, a #1 + 2 closeup filter with an ND4 on top of these. The image was processed in RAW in LightRoom.
