Very nice, I like the depth of field work on your wife's bird picture!
She shot this with a 70-200mm 2.8 with a 1.7 Converter. This was a hand
held shot and even with the telephoto with converter, it was fairly
sharp. That is the beauty of the VR feature. The fast lens does a
great job on the DOF and really makes a nice bokeh.
My wife and I see the world so completely different. When I took the
horse photos, I was amazed at the strength and beauty of the animals. She
is actually scared of horses, but what she saw was the sadness of them
being in their stalls.

Here is her photo submission of her horse photo. The photographer of each
photo is not revealed till after the competition, so no one knows who took
the photos. This was her digital submission, and when they flashed the
image on the screen, it touched a number of woman behind us. Based upon
those women's reaction, I thought this would have gotten a ribbon.

It is amazing how different my wife's photos are. She is much more
creative than I am, and when we come back from taking photos, it is
amazing how different our photos look.







Harry's keen eye picked up on your pedestrian work. Maybe he'll give you
some tips some time so that you can take fine snapshots like he does.

Harry likes bird photos. Remember his owls?

It looked like it was done professionally.
