I Second What Bill Said. All Hail Doug's Bird Imagery. R in Mi. ________________________________ From: William B.

Your DOF placement makes Mr. Wren seem to be three-dimensional against the bokeh of reeds that fade in the distance. I almost wrote "bouquet" instead of "bokeh" and it would not have been far from the truth. The "in-focus" reed to the left adds immeasurably to the overall composition, in my humble opinion; it sort of helps to stop the eye in the plane of the wren and helps to move it to him. I am not familiar with the Marsh Wren but I have fond memories of a pair of wrens that nested year after year in a purple bougainvillea near my home when I was a boy in Florida. My mother always called them Jenny Wrens but I have no idea why she did that or what sort they really were. I enjoy all of your images very much and send all best wishes, Bill ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
