This shot makes me laugh out loud: the pose, the clarity, the snowballs in his feet... It is fabulous! #8375716Bill Houghton February 12, 2010

There's a subtle sense of humor in this shot that's delightful (such as a reluctance to put that foot down in the really really cold snow! lol)So sorry about the camera. I finally starting selling off each of my old ones when the new one came, but it was scary. Can you rent one to get you through the no-shoot time?
Lastly, thank you for the in-depth details. It's a great mini-tute for shooting snow and wildlife. #8376124

Congrats on your super POTD #8376317Rony Sagy February 12, 2010
Fantastic shot of this "old man" walking in the snow. Congratulations on POTD. Well deserved. I wonder how big is this bird. Did you lie in the snow to capture it? #8376319Kathryn Wesserling February 12, 2010
Rony - that's what I thought, too (belly-down shot?) But, Jeroen mentions it's taken from the car window! I'm still trying to figure that one out! lolll #8376347
