John I had to leave to see a patient after I uploaded it and before I could do the description and title. You are just way to fast for me. I have been super busy with tons of patients recently with all the cold we are having in Texas. #9223323

Hi Emile this is the firs time I came across your pictures and I saw these wonderful pictures of the air show. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just a beginner and for me the precision, clarity, sharpness and the colours are amazing and that you were hand-holding the camera with small apertures and got those shots is unbelievable.

Hope to look through your gallery in the next few days. #9804413
