Beautifully exposed and good detail too. I always find yellow just the most difficult colour to capture without either blowing the highlights or making it look drab and lacklustre - in this instance the G7 has done a worthy job in your capable hands.

Oh... have just bought a Canon A650 (with £40 Canon cash-back) although still pricey by US standards.

Lovely shot Ken.

As Bruce says, it is hard not to blow yellows and this is excellent.

Bruce: nice little camera you bought!!

Is it a late season marigold? Everything is frosted and dead up here in the north already

Looks like some form of ragwort to me. Similar to my UK one on the front page this month, but your US one has more notches on the petal ends, multi-serrate!

Lovely shot- I'd have guessed it as a dandelion

Thanks everyone

I have no idea what it is really. Like Bruce, I just assumed a Dandelion of sorts.

Still lovin' that G7!!!!

I'd call it a dandelion, but really I know NUTHINK about things that don't have a pulse. I claimed I knew nothing about Joan's pic also, I guess I'm getting dumber and dumber lately!

Thanks Mike

Yes the G7 is still performing well and proving its worth as being a very handy little camera for those spur of the moment shots or for use on long hiking trips.
