This is from my friend's garden, I snuck over when she wasn't home. Auto settings, early evening, with light flash, no adjustments or manipulations (not even cropping!)

Very pretty Diane !! LOL !! Least she is your friend... I tend to find myself sneaking into strangers' yards. Most of them are pretty nice about it.. lol... #628009Diane Dupuis July 02, 2004
Thanks Rob, Cathy! I know someone suggested just ringing their bells and asking for permission, but I'm too afraid of rejection! #628015Allan L. Whitehead July 02, 2004
You little sneak, Diane, we all do it, eh… Marvelous photograph and presentation. I love the coloring and the DoF. I wouldn't suggest this technique at the Tiger compound at Parc Safari, though. (he, he, he) Very well done, my very dear friend - Allan #628057Charlene Bayerle July 02, 2004

Beautiful shot, Diane!! Excellent color against the black BG! #628860Diane Dupuis July 02, 2004
Thanks so much Dan! I'm really pleased because I took this shot in her garden - there was no black background, just the plants around... And I did no adjustments at all. Somehow the camera did exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately I don't know what I did right this time! If anyone knows please tell me! #628865Diane Addonizio July 02, 2004
