I tend not to shoot either birds or flowers, but this is a double capture, both a bird and a flower at the same time. I was at the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor when this Bird of Paradise caught my eye. I shot it in HDR but could not get it to line up because the wind was blowing and I was shooting handheld. I tone mapped all 5 in Photomatix using the align elements feature and it actually did it! This was shot with the 18-105 at 22mm. Had a bit of a problem getting it to have a plain background without the rest of the garden, I was afraid the guards would see me standing in the garden, but I got away with it. LYLE

Good selective focus it really makes the subject stand out and I love the lines and placement. Bruce
