Thanks all. The leafs are backlit by the sun, that's what draws the white'ish outlines. The 400mm is great for flower pics and closeups. Narrow DOF, good bokeh. Bob; the 1.6 crop factor just means smaller images.. The 400mm isn't a 640mm on a 20D.. it's still a 400mm. But the camera captures a smaller part of the image the lens has to offer than a full format camera would. Anyway - I didn't do further cropping here :) -k2

Gorgeous color. And great use of focus depth to isolate a subject that would otherwise be very busy. I like the light lining th eedges of hte leaves too. Nice :) Cindy

Spectacular colours K2 I can imagine how a stand of these would look amongst pines etc. Did you use a 400mm lens (times 1.6 = 640mm) for this? ~ Regards Melbob
