About	I hope you all like this one. I know she isn't as colorful as the others but I really liked her face. She was brooding and she was so spectacular in person. I used a 75 - 300mm IS USM on this one to get the shot. I also have changed the way my focus works on the 20D and it has made a great difference in the area of focus of the subject material. Sometimes Manual Focus is much better than the predictive focus Canon defaults to. To much playing around and it isn't neccessary. :) Let me know what you all think.

Thanks John! The only drawback I have seen if you can call it that is the lens that it comes with. Albeit OK, there are better lenses by far that Canon, Sigma & Tamron makes for it, but the plastic construction of the lens that comes with it is sub standard when you look at taking filters on and off of it. The plastic threads doesn't make it easy to remove filters. Now the one thing you can do is put a UV filter on it at the beginning to solve this problem because then you have something with metal thread for any future filters to add and remove. You are very good at photography and I would love to see you jump into that particular realm so we can share even more hints & ideas! :) Take Care!!
