Fantastic Sheila - and what makes it more exciting is I've just seen some of these adults on a lake in Swindon! I'll be looking out for the chicks now!!!
(Doubt I'll get a shot as good as this though!)

vote! vote! vote! wow!! such a owndrful shot!!! cropped or not and so tightly focused and still!!! id frame it... i just got a sony r1... nikon 8800 broken... was lucky to get these images with nonfocusing nikon...http://www.pbase.com/donverger/amazinggrace and as happy as i am to have a camera that will focus and not have to take the battery out between shots.... i only!!! now have 5x not 10x of nikon
and realize that in my gallery 2,000+ hits more than half of them i could not have taken with my new good camera ...and couldnt walk closer...
maybe i finally need to breakdown and have my ADD deal with lenses and a dslr and a saved for 2nw camera!
what are your thoughts and expericnes with cameras and multiplicity and ease of use... and what would you buy today... sorry to write so much here!
anyway... taking new cam to Pohnpei, Micronesia next tues to visit son... and atlest it will work and focus!

great great image! id frame it! and back i t up :)
