You've done well with this, Mike. I like how you have kept the stamen sharp and thrown the rest out of focus with the narrow DOF. Personally, i would have slightly darkened everything except the focus area to make the stamen 'pop' (ooer, missus!), but thats just my taste.

Hopefully we will get to see some of your shots from Loch Long too (smashing area!).
