Still too windy for a close-up, so I took a shot of the whole tree trying to focus on the central flower, but I failed.

That is about 1:1 crop on my screen. That is about 3MP from the original 47MP image.? I was impressed with how nice it looked.

I did not start out trying to take a macro shot, but this lens can be cropped pretty much down to the pixel and still give outstanding results.
