About Caught this fella at the Falconry Centre, just begging to have his picture taken. I umed and ahed for a moment then thought, "Ah, what the heck?! It's digital. It won't cost me nothing." So I took it and e-mailed it to him the following day.

He liked it, but suggested I air-brushed out the grey hairs as they make him look older than he is. I said, 'No way pal, you'll just have to live with it."!!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

I'm just off for some valium!

Have a nice day!

Chris

Chris you are really wound up today. Things must be going well with you. Hope your wife is doing as well. This is great. They are such inquisitive animals. Very nice. Don.

Very nice Chris, love the detail in this guy! Looks like he is peeking right through the frame looking right at me!

excellent in everything

Chris; a nice shot! In your position, I'd like to think I'd have shot it too (well, with a camera! of course). Loved your commentary about the little guy too-- I think they do often invoke one's sense of humor.

Thanks for your comments on my long exposure of Squaw Island. Sounds like cropping some from the bottom is in order as Tim also suggested it. I had played around some w/ cropping, but guess I was hung up on the effects of long exposure. Cheers. Craig
