Picked up this nice 70-200L/f4 yesterday, and this was the first thing that got my attention.

Settings: 20D, 200mm, 7.1, 1/500, iso 1600, handheld (no post process other then resize). I also tried some shots with less apperture and or lower shutterspeed (and lower iso), but these did not show the fine detailes in the flower leaves. I attribute this to camera movement. Hence I'm happiest with this 1600 iso shot; I find the noise no issue at all at this speed. What a lovely camera this is (own it a few days now, and LOVE IT!)

I'm curious what you make of the shot. I'm guessing that the opinions can vary widely from ultimate boring to quite interesting (I like it because of transparancy of the plants).

I guess you're in the right spot to shoot tulips, right? Nice ligthing. The framing makes me want to either back up and see more of them, or get closer and focus on one. But that's just me.
