Well the wife was using the D3 today to do a studio session, so thought I would go check out a few haunts. Grabbed the only camera around a Canon S51S Compact.
Of course get out to the wetlands and here's a chick straight out of the nest - learning to fly. Well no use trying to get any flight shots with a compact - so tried for a few static shots. Chick was quite bold and happilly hopped onto my finger.

Hi Lance,
I like your close up of this little guy. Not bad for a Pro Sumer Point and Shoot...:D The details and colors are great. The reds are ok...:) How do you like your -S5 IS- ? In my opinion,Canon makes the best point and shoots in the market...:cool: I owen an A620 myself; and like the American Express commercial "never leave home without it"...This little girl is always with me...:) Congrats on you image...:cool:
I had the Powershot S3 IS and used it solidly for a year while I learned about photography. I just sold it this weekend - need the cash to buy a new toy for the 40D! They are great cameras, that's for sure.
As Al said, the reds are a little oversaturated but the rest of the image is crystal clear and beautiful. Great detail and love the close compo.
my eye just keeps getting drawn to his eye!!! i love the reflection. that is one awesome looking eye!!!! did eye mention that eye liked the eye!! great image, lance. i like the way you make the best out of your situation when your wife has your camera!!
