Thanks Andy.

To answer a few of the questions here. The pink one is not having trouble - it has just rounded the orange mark and is in the process of raising its spinnaker, which then takes a moment to fill - possibly a bit slow, but certainle no trouble.

The shot is taken from a light plane (a Cessna 172 for those interested). My son is training to be a pilot and sets me up with one of his instructors. We take the window off and I shoot as he circles above the fleet. Over water our minimum allowed altitude is 500 feet and this is where we stay. Great fun! I have to be careful not to let the lens get into the propwash - it tends to shake around a bit!!!! The shots are taken a about f5.6 and 1/1500.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment on (Magic Mirror). I thought the two were different enough that I could get away with sharing both of them. I'm glad to hear you agreed. On a separate note, I know I already left a comment on your piece (Turning Point), but I wanted to reiterate that I believe it is my favorite computer generated image of all time. I don't want to judge it in the same way as some of my photographs because it's like comparing apples and oranges but suffice it to say that every time my desktop changer brings it up I am still in awe and every time it changes to something else I am disappointed in a way. Anyway, keep up the inspiring work and thanks again for taking the time to check out my stuff as well~

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on all three of my (After The Rain) shots Andy. If I understood you correctly you were saying that comparing the plants to the windows was like apples and oranges and you're probably right. I guess I was just most surprised by the way the plants turned out because I just decided to take a walk with the camera when it finished raining and that's something I came back with. The window shots were very deliberate with special attention to focus and everything else so they turned out pretty much as expected :). I'm glad you liked them all, thanks again.
