OSPREYS LOVE THE 40D!
 

Finally got around to taking some pics of ospreys today.
(I've only seen two or three before today.)
Had so much fun I decided to make a whole new gallery out of it.

You're late, Helen. We expected your gushing approval yesterday. We
were all waiting for you to make up our minds if these were good
photographs or not.

I think they are great shots Brett, though unlike Helen, I think this is the
best of them http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/97623538

Oh, they're good pictures. Quite good. More impressive than the
pictures, though, is the effort that went into waiting for them.
Anyone with a good camera and little luck can take a good picture of
something sitting in front of them. Seeking out and waiting for the
right opportunity with something difficult to catch on film (or card)
is impressive, though.

I've always thought your photographs are good. More than good, in
fact. Where you lose is when you participate in these ridiculous
exchanges with your critics. You show no class and too quickly get
down to their level. Your work is good enough to stand on, and you'd
come off better if you did just that.

You need to run a test, though. Take a badly composed, out-of-focus,
snap of a blah subject and post a link to it. We want to see how
Helen reviews it. I suspect that she will say it is so magnificent it
brought her to tears.

Why should you care Cooper what the hell I say?! If you gag (too bad
it wouldn't be fatal) then PLEASE killfile me. If you can't accept
the fact that I give an honest critique than that's YOUR arrogant
problem.
It's a great idea to comment on Bret's work privately, but at the same
time I hate the fact that some of you would get pleasure in it.
These osprey pics are damn good. What would you have me do? Lie?
Frankly I've seen no contributions from you on this newsgroup, so
STFU!!!

I dunno, Helen. Why should you care what I say?

It's always a pleasure to deal with a gracious lady like you.

Hey, when you deal with crap you have to "stoop" to it's level.

That's no way to talk to Bret's right hand man.
