This is a shot of the Rhododendrons using the The Redwoods as a backdrop. Shot from across the road in the rain (Got to love that weather sealed 1D Mk II), this shot uses selective focus to help bring emphasis to the flowers.

It is hard to get these shots since the shutter speeds tend to be long and wind/rain/cars passing all tend to move the subject. Even this image shows a bit of blur on one of the images but I liked the composition on it much better than the one I got everything perfectly sharp on.
