In response to what Larry said, it turns out I took 18 photos of the heron. On my first quick pass I marked 4 of them for a closer look. Most of the rest are a little soft, plus a there are a couple of groups of similar shots where I chose the one I liked best. For the other bird I mentioned I have 34 to start with, many of which are very similar... so I'm procrastinating for now :) And Godfrey was correct, he had commented beforehand. I do appreciate the kind comments (and the not-so-kind ones as long as they're constructive), even if I don't clutter the list by replying to each and every one :) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
