    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!"

    Not joking about liking the photos, Russ, but I am about the soca festival. The only pans they have there are frying pans, salt pans, and critiques of the plays in Ashland.

    I looked at these before, and was surprised that I had not said anything. I think I mixed this one up with another one of your posts. headscratch.gif

    Excellent set! thumb.gif

    The pheasant is great. (I might selectively sharpen his head just a tad, 'cause it looks like it's just slightly out of the DOF)
