I dont think I am doing anything you could not, I mean anyone who can put togeather a setup like you did on that coke can shot, probably can do anything, I would have probably just shook it up and ended up with a shot of coke all over my self :)....

Outstanding close-up showing beautiful colors and detail, not to mention, the split second timing required! Super image Marcus! Appreciate your recent comments on my latest. Regards--Bill Voizin P.S. Please take a look at "Incoming" it doesn't quite come near your quality of photo but shows flight pattern of the pelicans.

What an amazing image Marcus! Beautiful colours and detail in the feathers and the wings. The range of tones is impressive too, especially under the left wing. I like the very short DOF used as well. Incredible shot.... Well done!

Happy to see such a marvelous shot from someone using the 20D. I'll be moving up from the fixed lens Minolta and Pentax film cameras to a 20D within a month or two. Beautiful sharp shots like your duck convinces me I'm making the right decision.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Great capture. The clarity and detail are superb with just enough blur in the wingtips to give a hint of motion without being distracting. This is an absolute winner of a shot.
