Now I dont have to tell you that thats good.

Do you sell many prints on here and just in general? Might be worth looking into mate..

For one, I think you can match Steve Parish in Australian nature shots thus far.

You've done a wonderful job of capturing nature at one of its bests here.

The alignment of the bird with the sun and buildings in the background is very...er, I can't think of the word, but it's GOOD.

Hee Hee! Its summer solstice (suprisingly) here - all the hippies went to Stonehenge to look at the pretty sunrise. I woke up at about five to six, for some reason, so I was too late. :-( Oh well, I can wait till next year!

gee...do you really think so?
i looked that guy up on the net and i am extremely flattered.
i'm just a novice and i have NO grounding in photography. i just take shots which i like:).
i've set up a print account on somebody else's prompting but i've only just submitted some, and i think they're the wrong ones:).
thanks for all your wonderful encouragement over there.
i really can't say how much i appreciate it.
except to say thank you and thank you!!
