    The clarity in the reflection is like a real mirror. Amazing....

    Very well done!

    no
    the comment from my very old and mentally feeble family member refers to the fact that my PS skills suck and if I could have made that shot in PS then I would save $1000 'sssss of dollars in camera gear.
    But my soul would die sitting at a desk looking at a screen and not sharing the world with the ones who really take care of their world and getting a shot every now and then that complements them [even the old coots] :D that is why I have never taken a shot of Tiger ,I do not want to break my camera rolleyes1.gif

    That has to be one of the best old coot images I have seen. That reflection plus the overall exposure and comp are all excellent! thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
