Good lesson for anyone reading this thread Rick, and what a picture, great colour, detail, focus and DoF. Second good lesson, don't necessarily believe everything you see in a viewfinder

Nice shot, Rick! Isn't that the case...how a 3" lcd can cause us to make irrational decisions? Glad you didn't delete it! This would make a good candidate for this week's Assignment: Bokeh.
