Brian, the last thing you need is pointers from anyone...you should be giving lessons! Too bad you can't really teach what you do. You just know when to click the shutter and which shots work. I love your animals! I have you on my favorites list already, and I was planning to ask you if I could use one or two of your animal pics for photo art challenges on my participation site at
http://www.innographx.com/forum See some samples of what I mean in my photo art animal gallery here on pbase.
You would get a photo credit, a link to your pbase gallery, and a legal notice giving you copyright to any artistic renderings we do from your pics...so you can't lose! And we all win! What do you say?
