Magnificent! White flowers are hard to be when they are properly exposed. This is really beautiful.

Thanks Chuck. I've shot many images at ISO 6,400 with no ill effect, so I'm not sure how you arrived at your conclusion. The view in download shows no image degradation what so ever. Maybe you're just not used to images from a Pentax camera, huh?

Nicely done. I like it a lot.

Curious - why ISO 1600 and 1/1500th sec.?

I was out and about WITHOUT my monopod and due to a severe brain injury a couple of years ago, at times I have hand tremors.... and this was one of those times.... so I wanted the high shutter speed to possibly cut down on the effects of my shakes. But, even it that wasn't the case, as you can see, even in the download, the Pentax sensor (made by Sony) handles the higher ISO quite well. I've shot at ISO 6,400 with no adverse effects. That ability is quite a reassuring feature, I guarantee you! My K-50 Pentax will go from ISO 100 all the way to 51,200. However, at the highest end, things DO go awry in a hurry!
