What is wrong about this pic? For that matter, what is right, if any? :rbounce:

Hmm.. you seems to use a rather big aperture size. I remember hearing from somewhere that you need to use a small aperture size in closeup to so that your subject can be sharper. It works well in your case. Did you zoom in your subject?

I guess the subject is relatively flat so the big aperture size did not affect the dof. I did not zoom in on the subject but my camera is very near to the flower. Almost touching if I remember correctly.
Thanks for all the kind comments. :gbounce:

U-KnOwHo, QV-2900UX cannot zoom in so close, it's virtually impossible with such a camera and lens. You will have obtain a very very blur image if you took the shot that close to the subject. What you have here is a more than life-size replication, possibly 3:1. Unless, you zoom-in using the camera built-in zoom capability which is common amongst digital camera. So, please don't provide inaccurate information.
Lastly, it is a sharp and well-balanced shot. High in color saturation although flat hence lacking in depth.

Y L Lee, are you saying that the lens is only 1 cm away from the subject? And yet it can still remain in focus?
Agreeing, the CCD is small. However, that doesn't compensate for image capturing. All cameras (unless I am already backdated) works based on lens magnification. Most lens (unless really expensive ones) only produces 1:1 reproduction. Normally, extension tubes or bellows or inversing the lens with rings are needed to improve on these reproductions. Otherwise, use close-up filters to reduce the minimum focusing distance. Normal lens minimum focusing distance is 0.4m (40 cm), except for macro lens which are really expensive.
