Dang. In the Seattle area we won’t see that stuff for another 2 to 3 months! One of my favorite flowers.

Very Nice.
And not to criticize, but I would have taken another with the the aperture stepped down from f5.6, with a slower shutter speed of 1/100 sec to get a tad more depth of field. The EV compensation for back lighting was good though, woulda left that alone :-)
One thing I still can't 'get' with these digital SLRs is the; 'focal length: 135mm. In 35mm format = 202mm', thing. In this case its a 67mm difference and that I can't relate to.
With 35mm film I know where the 'focal plane' is. There's a line on the top of my Nikon (for macro photography). And I know a 50mm lens equals normal eyesight, a 100mm lens is x2, a 150mm is x3, and a 350mm lens is x7 (like 7x'XX' binoculars). And for Portraits I'd use a 80-100mm lens.
So I'm afraid if someone gave me a Digital SLR I'd have to use it for a doorstop. My brain is too old for this new stuff.
Annnnnyway, very nice picture :-)
