Thanks for your comment...actually, the shot was easy. Beautiful light came in from the window, and Jamie was hamming it for the camera on a black low coffee table, so no sore neck. I almost considered entering this into the best of 2005 challenge, but chose another picture

Excellent shot...what fantastic DOF and colour and a really nice relaxed pose. D70's are great aren't they? I love the grime and dirt on his jumper. I love the composition and I love the way his eyes have made contact with the soul of your lens. National Geographic quality...great job

It's so sharp! can see Apollo 11! Well done and thanks for sharing her you did this. I have tried with a 500m 6.3 Sigma, but haven't succeeded at all.

Thank You,

she spotted the shot and grabbed the camera from me and took the picture. She is an extraordinary photographer and has taken some amazing photos. She has a great eye for composition and is very creative with what she shoots. I am thinking of asking her to set up her own dpc membership, but she spends so much time on the Gwen Stefani forum, that I think we may never have a meaningful conversation again! We'll both be 'forum bound'.

Thanks for your comments

Thank You Bacchus...I held my heavy 50-500mm lens by hand and shot through a fence (which blurred out as I was 1 metre away). On the original, you can see little droplets of water on the whiskers and hair around the mouth. Obviously, the reduced size here doesn't show this.

I took about 100 close ups while three male lions fed...it was an awesome morning's shooting

Thanks for your comments,

Enzo
