Flower in my yard using a new technique (for me)

That's a killer shot, Craig. ; The Force was with you that day. ; Find a photo contest and enter it.

Have you seen Bryan Peterson's tip for shooting flowers in the "rain"? ; Here is the link: ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zu0I9d0cso&fmt=18

I took a few more shots around the yard yesterday morning:

 

Well the non flash photo is gorgeous - great color. ; I still want to try the flash technique...I just took advantage of our local Ritz/Wolf camera closing to pick up a flash for my camera at a great price, so now I can experiment with something more powerful and flexible than the built-in flash!

 

thanks guys!

Dennis, I saw that video too from Bryan Peterson. I want to try it, but I havent bought Dina flowers in over a year, and I dont think buying flowers to play with in the backyard would go over well!
And buying two bunches of flowers for her and to take pics of at the same time might be even worse!
