Cropped for wallpaper on a widescreen monitor. IMO, this is the best shot I have ever captured.

    This is one extremely nice capture, Ric. I love the background bokeh and the sharpnss of the bird.

    Hi Ric, Absolutely Gorgeous photo, top to bottom, front to back.clap.gifclap.gif
    There are wall hangers and then there are wall hangers. This one should be front and center. What were you shooting when you captured it.

    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!"
