An excellent shot Ken.

I see you took it with your 30D...what happened to the trusty G7???

Actually my G7 is for back up and for taking into those places where it would not be very practical for me to take a dSLR, though there are a few hearty and adventurous souls that would take their cameras anywhere and some often do by trade or out of necessity. The new flash grip or bracket that I have recently acquired also makes carrying a dSLR a bit more comfortable now too, now that I have something more substantial than the camera body to hang on to and not having the camera hanging around my neck like an albatross.

I saw the pictures you posted of your grip and thought it to be quite cumbersome, but I for one would rather stick to my SLR if I had the choice. Fixed lenses have only so much versatility.

Beautifully composed - stunning form and colours. IMO this one needs to be seen at poster size to really appreciate it as a work of art.

Thanks Bruce, however, I would have liked to have had a much lighter background.

I think the bright center brings your eye right over to that corner and you don`t even notice the dark BG IMO (until you mentioned it

). Mine just "Bit the Dust" with the hard frost Monday
