So........You might as well wscroll on back up there and read hers! Lol...
Rona, all I would add is what perfection this stop action is. And we all know there had to be lots of THAT going on!!! (ACTION!)
BTW- Have I told you that "I love you" lately? I just came from my ~Golden Thread~ (Lol) and read what you wrote there. You are so sweet. I can't think of a more perfect way to end my day than to read what you said to me. AND THE REST OF IT IS TRUE SO TRUE! We do have a blast on my threads don't we???
All the more reason for yuo to stop on by more often. I need to get back on here too.
HUGE CONGRATS to you on this TERRIFIC Finalist!!! :))) !!!

What a fabulous image, Rona. Congrats on your being a finalist. I noticed you used a 70-200 lens and a 2.8 at that. I have an 80-200 and know how hard it is to hold a heavy lens such as yours. Your capture is outstanding and full of color and detail...Huge congrats. #9818531Karen Celella November 22, 2011
