Thanks all for the comments

Re the dragon on finger shots - If I've been shooting a dragon which has not been too disturbed- I take all the shots I want which normally involves getting closer and closer to the subject. I will then simply try placing a finger under it's nose and often they will walk on allowing me to do some finger shots.

Brian, I love to see you consistently bringing out great work almost every day. It's always a joy to watch. Moreover, you are one of the most helpful people on the forum regarding sharing technical and functional information.
Keep it up and have a great 2013

fine selection with the emphasis on behavioral shots which are always the most interesting to me.
