    Default Hello Dave...

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Hi Everyone,
    I thought that the South Florida Brigade might recognize this fellow:D. He and his family lived in the ficus tree in our yard when we lived in Boca Raton. He even survived Hurricane Wilma by clinging to a branch!! We got to know him very well and I must tell you that he is the reason that I got into photography. We called him Dave and I really miss him....
    I took this about 18 months ago with my Canon Powershot - in the pre DSLR days - it is really a great little camera! I got to know and love South Florida's wildlife using this.
    Look forward to your c & c's.
    Best rgards to all,
    Nicki

    High impact Nicki Sure wish you could have pointed the camera down and left when you made the picture !!! Love having a little more room to the left and avoid the dark area up top !!!

    Love the fine detail and exposure !!! Very fine image !!!!

    Sharp, sharp, sharp !! You could open up the top dark right hand corner a bit though.

    Desmond, this totally spoils the character of the picture - it's meant to be moody, not overexposed!!!

    Sorry, sorry, sorry! My bad. My apologies ! I simply meant to open up the darkness a bit. I guess I over-did it :o

    I'll remove it right away !
