Thanks! I was extremely lucky with the "Encounter" photo, a great moment to capture!

@Slick: I use the super macro mode (don't know if the A700 has that one, too). And yes, I really have the camera that close to the object. The zoom does not work when I'm in super macro mode; it's inactive.

BTW, the last one, the lily photo, was taken with the zoom, not with the macro mode, it actually is no real macro.
