Okay, now that I see them both, I like no-flash much better. It's more subtle, to be sure, but it's that sublety that I like. Besides, the flash undermines that lovely DOF of the leaves - the brightly lit ones in the background stand out too much; even if they're OOF, you don't get that lovely effect as you do in the no-flash photo. Are we voting here? Put a check in the "no-flash" box for me. <g> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
