Nice colours. Why f2.8? You could have used a narrower aperture, and with the Mark IV I think you could have increased the ISO too... The 100mm is light and doesn't need a very high shutter speed to shoot hand held (though I am not sure about the added weight of the Mark IV)

Thanks Abhishek, I didn't know that the Macro lens doesn't need much shutter speed. Next time I will try

Nice image. A narrow aperture would have been even better.
Abhishek,
While clicking with the Mark IV and 100mm IS, I found the lens to be much lighter than I am used to these days. :) So if I shoot, I will use a higher shutter speed. :)
