[Leica] Q2 and Friday Flower

[Aram Langhans]

Just got back from a walk where there was a nice Star Magnolia. 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.

But looking around on the computer I noticed the flower along the lower 
edge was it pretty sharp focus, so I cropped most all of the photo away 
to show just that flower.  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.

Of course, it will not make a very large print, but I think it is pretty 
nice,  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.

Aram, still keeping my 100/2.8 APO.
