A long time has passed since we last corresponded, James and you posted many new beautiful photos. From all of them I opted to comment on this one because I liked the oblique composition and the deep red of the petals, to which you fitted the color of the frame.
Thank you for your in-depth comment on my "Figure 1."
Best regards,
Rafi

Excellent capture...I love the one falling....it's so dramatic, and symbolic of change, and how insidious it can be.... It's enthralling to look at, a real study if you will, and I like the tones... Wonderfully composed and beautifully presented.... Linda

Incredible macro James. The clarity and textures are out of this world. DOF really concentrates the eye to the superb subject. Fantastic work made even more so when considering that you don't have much time to set up shots like this. Very well done.
Den

sharp little eyes.
I like the diagonla composition of the leaf.
Did you use flash? the dark shadows in the background are a bit distracting.

Thanks Laurie, everyone seems to like the eyes, they are very shy and even breathing on them causes them to retract their eyes.

Alright Sal,
I did read a very good comparison review between the 350D and 20D and the reviewer said that for action shots the 20D was better for a couple of reasons.
i) The viewfinder on the 20D is brighter and the focus hits the mark almost 100% of the time compared to his figure of 90% for the 350D, he also mentions the ability to select AF points is easier on the 20D but I have had no problem with this. In fact most of my shots have been with the Sigma 105 macro lens and I tend to use Manual focus as the Sigam hunts like crazy, but the kit lens (18-55 non USM) AF's fine everytime but the quality of the optics is poor compared to the Sigma. I imagine with a decent Canon USM you would find the 350D does a good job.
ii) The 350D has a maximum burst rate of 3fps for a max of about 14 frames (I usually max it out at 12 frames on JPEG large, less on RAW), where as the 20D has a max of 5fps, unsure about how many it can take but I bet it's more than 14!
I found the comparison on www.whichlens.com..... you may want to check it out. If you want to ask me anything else please feel free to email me on worm1979_1999@yahoo.co.uk
Cheers.

Brilliant! Wonderful detail and very natural color saturation.
PS You also have the 350d, if you would James please comment about it ability to auto-focus on fast moving objects.....is it spot on or hit or miss Kamran and I are toying with the idea of upgrading our 300d's to either you camera or taking the plunge and getting 20d's. We'd love to hear from you.
Regards
Sal
