    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!"

    Awesome gestures in this photo. What an incredible job on the exposure. I don't know how you did it with what looks like much back lighting. thumb.gif

    Thanks, guys.

    Another view of that dance is the one winning Nature's Best Photography Windland Smith Rice Awards, birds category 2007.

    I'll be going to Washington DC in October for the opening of the exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum:ivar
