Oh Jeff this is magnificent. The color, detail and DOF are perfect. Well done.By the way in your bio you said "Crocs Rule", I'm sure this is a indication that you liked Steve Irwin. He is the first celebrity I ever cried over when he died. His zest for life and love of nature made me say "Crocs Rule" too. He was the real deal and I'm glad for the oportunity to remember him by your quote. #4412517
