Good news
The country's biggest photo competition has just been judged. There
are 4 catagories each with 3 prizes. I won a first prize and a
third prize and my wife, Anna, (who was one of the 4 finalists for
National Geographic in December) also won a first and third prize...
we brought home 4 of the 12 prizes... Good job to the Mairs of
Oman!!! Between the two of us we also have 11 images in the final
exhibition of about 50 images (Honorable mentions)
We were joking about it this evening. We never thought we'd come
close.... 8000 entries
I'll try to get the winning images posted somewhere soon

Very nice. Good composition, good light.

Did you try one? How much were they? I really like the photograph,
too. Not much one can do about the contrast except push a little
fill flash in there and fix it more in RAW. Don't want to eliminate
the side light, just tame it a bit.

A classic. Just a little curious about the yellow-ness of the sun.
In my experience by the time it's that high it's not yellow any more.

(shrugged shoulders) Unfortunate exhaust. Not good for the earth.
Waste of precious natural resource which is finite. Sorry, Morley.
That's what I think a lot of the time when I see airplanes out
playing. Sorta like snowmobiles. We need to stop doing that.

That bird only has one foot!!!!!. Boy, Jim. You are so lucky.
First you have the bird, then you're home when it comes visiting,
then you happen to have the equipment, and to top things off you have
the gear set up in the right place and the bird sticks around long
enough to get sharp. Pretty nice pic, there.

Thanks, Per. Just let me know if you're coming and I'll arrange a
place for you to stay.

Here's where I just dissolve into a puddle of the cutes. Did you fix
the green-eye? Just love the tail at the bottom. Those damn pop-up
flashes are just too convenient sometimes.
