Thomas, that is a great shot! What lens do you use? Do you have a site where people can see more of your photography?

Hi Aubry, I normally use a Canon Digital Rebel xTi with a variety of lenses, however this shot was taken with a new camera I just purchased which is a Canon Powershot sx40, that one doesn't have changeable lenses but the lens it does have can perform a variety of different jobs from macro shots to subjects that require high zoom.

I have a website which is http://www.stirlingcreative.com but I mainly post new photos on my flickr page at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomstirling1979/

Thanks again for using my shot!
