Thanks Dale, the back lit shot was the hardest to get the exposure right (no flash) so that there was some detail in the pods without blowing out the feathers. Scott

I have one that is silver on 1 side and black on the other. I wish I had got the silver/gold one instead though. They fold up to about 4" acrross and you can slip them in your back pocket. But you can reflect just enough light back to give the detail you are looking for and not spoil the back light effect. There is an example of me using it in the second picture of my post - Spiderwort - in this same forum. The first picture in that post I did not use it. You can see the suttle difference in the 2 pictures.
