Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com <http://www.wildlightphoto.com/> Hi Doug, Once again you illustrate the greatest of talent in photographing our feathered friends. A perfect mirrored image, amazing not a ripple! The 560mm isn't an easy lens to use, but you once again make it look as simple as using a 50mm for many. If this particular photograph doesn't become a record seller from your series I'd be quite surprised. Thanks for posting, it sets the tone of the day of appreciating beautiful photographs. Good on you big time. ted ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to leica-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
