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!"

    Cool bird, you could hang it in the bedroom. Call him "Granddad".

    Congratulations, I remember commenting when I saw that shot!

    Thanks Everyone.

    I've said this about other challenges, and I'll say it again, I'd be proud to put
    my name on any of these photos. What a great gallery they would make.

    Harry and Bandit, Thanks for allowing my photo in with these other great shots.
    I know, as well as everyone else, that there could easily have been more photos
    in the finals. There were so many great shots.

    Thanks again everyone.

    And just for the record, I voted for Troy's Tufted Titmouse. What a Wonderful shot. I tip my hat back to you.
    dave.

    Congrats Dave, great shot! Actually you had two great shots this time around, I'm sure it was a tough call to switch. So where is that conservatory you were shooting at? (I'm wondering if it's the one north west of the twin cities?)

    Thanks again everyone.

    Cabbey, I'm not sure which one you're talking about, but I don't think it's the
    one I was in.

    I was at Como Park/Zoo/Golf course/Lake/ and so on.
