    Didn't you get a D200? Are your latest photos from the new camera? They look great :)

    Interesting photo Ian, Nice and sharp, great exposure, I think if it may look better with not quite so tight a crop, just my opinion though

    Thanks for the suggestion Steve, I shot it kinda tight in the first place and there was a distracting white triangle in the corner of the shotheadscratch.gif Here's the original uncropped...

    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 Harry, it's interesting how the long reach lenses can force you to adjust your composition to something more interesting that you wouldn't have otherwise chosen...
