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!"

    Great series. The first two and the tricolored with chicks are exceptionally good to me. Looks like one didn't appreciate your prying lens. rolleyes1.gif
