I had to stop and get it. Enjoy!<< http://www.sonc.com/friday_june_22_2007.htm<<<<<<< Hi Sonny, No question the soft and subtle light makes it work. I think many shooters pass up this kind of light n look for the rather garish full sunlight catalogue look of the flower catalogues. Recognizing how the light is creating the feeling and openness of the flower not to forget your handling of the M8 as a flower taking camera rather than the usual SLR is interesting. Of late I've found shooting some flowers of late on the M8 with a 15mm lens topped down to f16.0 and almost burying the lens into the flower bed. Certainly a rather different look to say the least.:-)Very interesting. :-) But this one is excellent due to the soft lighting. ted
