Congratulations Cheryl!!!

Had the opportunity to take a macro workshop with Mike Moats this weekend in Orlando so i stopped at Gatorland in the morning to shoot first. I was happy with this shot of these two chicks. They have gotten so big in only a few weeks since my last visit. I also was lucky to finally meet our own Artie Morris. We had a good morning of shooting with a few nice opportunities. Nice meeting you Artie.Was it Hot or what? The only thing I had to do was overlay 2 yellow areas in the bg with a low opacity brushing. Once again my MIIIis in the shop so I shot with my 40 D and was pretty happy with my images.
