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!
