Lovely.  A very complete image of the subject.  Beyond coffee table 
flower books.

Be proud.  In fact, swagger around a bit and collect some high five's!  
You got 'em coming.

Now ;  as a fellow R8 (and 9) user, I gotta ask:  did you use spot 
metering to isolate the background?  I've done this with Japanese 
Irises in the garden using Kodachrome 100.  Worked well, but not as 
well as your background.

If not, how the heck did you do it?  Fabulous!

Regrds,

Bob

Hi Len,

We've had some fine flower pictures posted over the years, but this one 
of
yours has to be the grabber of all visual grabbers! :-)



The image opened and my re-action was some what more than I can put 
here on
a family net work.:-) However, truly in amazement of the beauty, clean
background everything about it just jumps off the screen drop dead
beautiful. Good on you lad.

Thank you for posting.
