Both good looking shots Gary, but I like the second one (as recorded by the 40D) better.

You say that the "40D has 14 bit color converstion". What did the former Canon cameras use?

Classic pose...good colour and comp. I really like the inclusion of the BG. Nice capture.

[EdV]

Very nice capture, Gary. The red is managed very well. I seem to always have saturation problems with the red. Great pose as well.

The truth is there was no way to seperate him from the bush, I was struggling just to get most of him clear of branches
