Thanks Ken. Yes, I used the Vivitar ring flash that I bought from Christian a couple of weeks ago. It was TTL by the way. Exposure was pretty close to right on. I just did a quick snap when I came home from work yesterday. The light was almost gone, so I didn't have too many choices. By tonight, the bud will be open. I tried a couple of different things but liked the centered, formal composition best. Paul
