    Mike,

    Absolutely love this shot. Exposure looks good. BG is so simple. TFS.

    Mike:

    Excellent exposure control, good detail in most blacks, without blowing out the epaulet.

    Simple, clean background.

    Love the grip on the cattail.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Mike, really nice; great job on the exposure. Apart from the singing that Alfred mentioned, I can't really think of any way to improve this.

    Cheers,
