    Now that is funny!

    Did you get an "in flight" shot, too?

    That is just too funny. I wonder what kind of reponse you would get if you forwarded the URL for this thread to the bottlers. That could be even funnier!

    I think you cropped the image too close to the birds head. You need to give it some room to move/breath. Exposure looks a tad off, also. I would have liked to see you shoot it at a different angle also. Get down at a lower angle and shoot it so the pot wasn't showing. The real problem with this image is that you didn't share the GBH with the rest of us. Some kind of gentleman you are. :D

    That's nice. What lens did you use on that? Hard time getting closer? A little chase in the jungle? Great capture...:D

    You did notice the bottle was empty... so I need not explain my technicalities. :drink

    Where are your priorities?! Waste time shooting a full, cold beer?

    Drink first, shoot later! lol3.gif

    Well played Dr., well played indeed. Although I must say if I were to the point of shooting beers I would have needed to have a few already:booze

    Eh, I had a long, long day at work and I just needed something for my daily photo project. I'm actually quite pleased with myself for thinking of something so clever. Many of my late night photos-for-the-sake-of-a-photo have been much worse.

    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!"
