    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!"

    Actually this is not the same shot...a few frames after. The other had more motion blur in the wings. But...they are very similar...good memory...and thanks, Bob.:D
