Great capture Steve. Not many people have the guts nor skill to pull pictures like this off. Like. Looks like you have had the 'eye' for some time.

Cheers, Herb

Steve Paxton on October 2, 2011

Herb i consider this one of my best photos as i was using the 135 he had no idea and relaxed just perfectly. these days it trying to find time to take more. i have just got a 35mm prime lens that on my format is equal to the view point of a 50mm prime lens of a full frame camera or 35mm film. learning how to take photos again and not get lazy and use the zoom to get the photo. many thanks steve
