Great job on this, Christine!

4/27/2009 9:06:41 AM

Incredible detail and sharpness Christine!

4/27/2009 12:28:38 PM

Thank you "Achie", I was surprised to see it turn out okay when I had to shoot through some mesh for this one!

Hi Lisa ;-) Thanks for shooting with us m'dear, we'll be sure to meet up again. It really was so great to meet you in person!!! (Psst... Brad Pitt rode the Maid of the Mist yesterday... and we missed him!!! I had to laugh after we talked about him briefly, lol)
Thanks for the kudos on this as well, have a great week girl!

Hey Tommy, hope you're doing well, thanks for the kind remark... appreciate that!

Thanks Larry, pretty sure I've spotted your terrific B&W amongst the winners... gotta go congratulate you now!!!

Marisol, thanks so much! I thought these guys were really cool to watch!

Christine, whatever you done you done it just right! Excellant detail and clarity!

4/27/2009 3:33:26 PM

You did a great job Christine, the detail is wonderful! He really is fascinating :) Wonderful capture!

4/27/2009 3:46:23 PM

Thanks Sherry... the trick seems to be to stand directly infront of it, a fair distance from it though, and to shoot past the mesh squares and focus on the subject behind. I found the right open square I guess :-) A good DOF helps too!

Thank you Ken, I appreciate that! Was sorry to hear you couldn't make it... still on for the waterfalls though?

Thank you Chrisina :-) They had a lovely salad breakfast just before we got there... I think he was content, lol.
