@Debbie - I can sense almost the same excitement I had when I first saw the shot on the 2.0" LCD screen :) ..thank you :)

Melissa G. Meiselman June 12, 2006

WOOOOOOOOW WEEEEE What a fantastic capture..all the elements are here, Vikas...razor sharp details, lighting, interesting symmetrical composition...great job!!!! #2888065

Debbie Del Tejo June 12, 2006

Yes, I can sense Melissa's excitement too! It is so funny when we capture something and we rush to get home to put it up on the computer and see it on the big screen!!! I got a speeding ticket that way...ok....two speeding tickets, because in all my excitement I forgot to look at the speedometer and was rushing with excitement to get home. I watch it now and drive very carefully fast!!!! lol #2888096

Vikas Garg June 12, 2006

Thank you Melissa .. again yes I can sense the same excitement :)

@Debbie : lol... I have got one ticket in my 4 years of driving here and learnt my lesson (ticket had a $1000 fine, no I don't drink, no I didn't run over anyone) - $1000 was a typo but it gave me a shock for almost a month before I went to the court to pay it .. so yes I do get excited after taking a nice shot but either I carry my laptop with me or just decide to slow down! #2888153
