They're also good, John -- but the other post is still the best! As an afterthought, i would have cropped off some of the top of the frame, though.

What aperture were you using?

Hi Anton,

Here are the settings for the shot you liked best. It was over 100 degrees and I didn't want to crawl around on the ground for a closeup of all the flowers. So I used a 300MM telephoto and just walked and perspired...
