Sorry to read about the camera troubles, and hope it all gets sorted out as quickly as possible.

However, you managed to get a splendid shot of this bird, and the timing is fabulous, Jeroen. #1233730

Susan Jane Allen February 12, 2010

Looks like your camera went out in a blaze of glory! You have a gorgeous gallery--really like the colour tones of your work. The patience required to get superb nature shots must be great indeed in that weather! #8376005

Kathryn Wesserling February 12, 2010

There's a subtle sense of humor in this shot that's delightful (such as a reluctance to put that foot down in the really really cold snow! lol)

So sorry about the camera. I finally starting selling off each of my old ones when the new one came, but it was scary. Can you rent one to get you through the no-shoot time?

Lastly, thank you for the in-depth details. It's a great mini-tute for shooting snow and wildlife. #8376124

Christine Lobsinger February 12, 2010

WOWOW... A lovely 'fun' shot...
Excellent capture Jeroen!! Great colouring and 'touch of humour'...LOVE it!
Congrats to you on your EP and on POTD...

Congratulations on your POTD...

Man if that isn't a bummer, no camera! If you get it back in 2 weeks, let me know where you sent it...last time I sent mine it was 2 months! Arggghhhh, but I do have a back up camera...good luck!

Fantastic shot of this "old man" walking in the snow. Congratulations on POTD. Well deserved. I wonder how big is this bird. Did you lie in the snow to capture it? #8376319

Kathryn Wesserling February 12, 2010

Rony - that's what I thought, too (belly-down shot?) But, Jeroen mentions it's taken from the car window! I'm still trying to figure that one out! lolll #8376347
