A pinball ball is 1" in diameter. I use to work for Stern electronics programing pinball machines.

I don't have a problem.........  ....... yet.......Are you stashing the divers in the toilet reservoir? PS by diver they mean dive watches, not actual divers  Omar, if you print it I'd do a 8x10 crop starting from the bottom right to keep some of the lovely background but loose a little from the top. Totally agree Greg. A bit too much up on top. A crop for sure before print Woolburr wrote in post #11654126 Nice zoo shots! Thanks Dan! -Omar- Flickr
