Thanks Brian. I autofocused on the stamens of that central blossom.  
That kind of autofocus accuracy is a benefit of the K20D adjustment.  
With the K10D I would have manually focused this shot. That's fine,  
but ti's nice to have the option of being lazy:-).

Beautiful array of blossoms together with a complimentary background. Can't
