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!"

    Thanks Rich. It is rather easy. All you have to do is take thousands of pictures over a span of years, take a few workshops, read some books, invest many, many hours, spend lots of $ on equipment, deal with the skeeters and other bugs, the gators, the heat, the dust, a few snakes, and its a snap.

    Hey Harry:

    As always you are quite the master!

    Hope all is well with you,

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    I agree, these are all very nice, but the Reddish is outstanding.

    And I like the happy Ibis too.

    So sorry about the frog...

    I'm new here, and already I am in awe. I don't suppose you need a groupie to carry your tripod and camera cases in Alaska and Africa?

    Kidding aside, I've a feeling I'll learn a lot on these forums. And now, back to lurking.

    Harry - You answer to Coati is a classic! But you are too humble my friend. You have a skill that cannot be read about in a book or purchased.

    The Reddish Egret is the best (imho) of a great set of images clap.gif
