You are The Master.
I am but a grasshopper.

It's beginning to sound repetitive but "Wow! Nice capture."

I sincerely hope you are finding some other place to share these other than this site. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing them, however, I think you need to share them with more than this small group. They're too good to hide. (No offense, Marko)

Thanks Iguanasan. I post to three blogs,flickr and six or seven other forums. I love posting to several places because I get feed back across a pretty wide range which can be very interesting and it helps keep one humble. I think my work is fair, and it should be for the time and effort I put into it but when I cruise around out there in webland, I realize I'm a good distance away from where I want to be. It's funny...Sometimes I post an image that completely knocks my socks off and it gets maybe one comment, then I'll post something that came dangerously close to the recycle bin and it's all the rave. Another thing I've found is that it depends sometimes on the level of experience of those on the forum as to how good your stuff is to the viewers eye. I've got to pull off some serious magic to get a run of comments on the semi pro type board. Without writing the book here, I enjoy posting here and I'd be lying if I said the status I'm afforded didn't stroke my ego a tad If I could get the kind of feed back I get here on a pro forum I'd probably quit my day job and run with it (place emoticon I can't find here) I'm probably rambling but I hope that made sense

Michael, what lens have you used for this beautiful shot ?

12-60 ? 70-300 ? or a super high grade ?

70-300

Thanks Iguanasan.

You're welcome!

...I realize I'm a good distance away from where I want to be.

I know that to be true for myself as well.

...I've got to pull off some serious magic to get a run of comments on the semi pro type board....

I'd be very interested in seeing some of these "semi pro types" work. I find it hard to believe they are that much ahead of the people on this board. I'd say it more likely that they are just less friendly.

Nice capture, once again Michael!
