Sandi, face to face with the lady, so that we can't deny her, lol. Excellent close-up!

Regards, Cornelius.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Lovely shot, Sandi.If you were up close, or shooting with a tele lens, you might want to try a smaller aperture (Larger Number) to get a bit more depth. You can still get your background out of focus. There's a button on the left side/front of your 40D which when pressed, shows you your image depth for whatever setting you choose. You can always check your depth of field before you shoot.
