First dandelion of the year

Lord Vetinari

Who'd have thought I'd be pleased to see the first dandelion flower in the garden .
Used to always pull (dig) these up but now leave as many as I can- beautiful flowers and good for many bees and hovers.

How come you control the flash so perfect? . You got the most detail on this flower and hope to see your next bees and hovers.

Cheers!

Thanks for the comments

I've been shooting with the same flash setup for about 3 years now- just getting used to it. Only odd things on this shot are use of +1 FEC to allow for the bright flower (would be under-exposed otherwise) and then temp correction of the RAW image down to about 5500'C. Canon flashes tend to be rather on the warm side (for my taste anyway).
