Thanks.

[DJ & Chance]

Really sharp shot, Laurie.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Wow - the detail is wonderful.  I like even better without the texture too.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Ooh, I love this one more!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Ha, I love his expression in the first shot!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Here is another one with the macro lens straight out of the camera.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Wow again.

[DJ & Chance]

ditto

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Here is one I took of Vern...I don't like the reflections on the plaques, but Vern is pretty sharp.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Yup.

[DJ & Chance]

Nice!  He looks like he is waiting for his best friend to come by and snuggle.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Laurie...if you don't like reflections you can put a polarizer filter on your lens.  You do need to read up on how to use one.  You need to always have the sun on your right or left.  Never in front or behind.  Polarizers are amazing if you use them correctly.  It cuts glare from a leaf which until you see it, you would have never realized how much glare comes from plants and leaves.
