Hi Bob!
Sounds like you had a good time on the Island! :-)
You sound surprised that the Telyt will beat out the L-series Canon. I'm=
not surprised, at all!
Great shots! You're right.. they are self explanatory. However, the=
close-up of the Heron you list as a 100% crop.. by that, do you mean full=
frame? If so, you were beastly close! Superb detail in it, though. :-)
You were lucky with the bag in the water episode, however. Last time I=
dunked mine, it cost my insurers's $7000!
The eagle shots look just a tad soft to me,(am I crazy?)... but nicely=
done!
Cheers!
David.
