Sparkly

One of the interesting things about African Violets is that they are very sparkly when viewed close up.  It’s like they’ve all just had a fight with a can of glitter.  

The Nikon 55mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor (with which this shot was taken) is one of those lenses that is always outstandingly sharp – a bench mark for which all other Nikon lenses are judged.  You can see from this huge crop just how sharp it continues to be.
