    I was about to say the same thing. If posted here, every one of those images will get a "wish for lower angle" comment! :) But then Alfred is right. From the lens angle, it does looks like they're shooting over the birds' heads. Well except for the guy on the right. He's got that lens pointed at the ladies on the beach. ;) Oh, and the guy in the middle either needs longer pants or shorter legs. :DBugs not a problem down there?

    Mr. Al, the next time you do one of these work shops, you have to bring you trained pet bird with you so he can talk to the other fellow birds so they can behave...:cool:

    Oh my god, I wonder why do you guys invest high amount of money in big lenses when you can do a great job, frame filling images, with a 105 mm macro lens:D:D

    Based on the jackets and outerwear the photographers are wearing, I would expect the ladies would be either very covered-up, or blue with cold - which would probably make for an interesting shot, anyway.....
