Hoping that Happy Puppy's smile brings a smile to your faces during this festive season..........he couldn't resist jumping in the tree and demanding a portrait shot to test my recently acquired 5D !!

Happy Puppy, Rosemary and myself wish you all a super New Year, and hope and pray for a more peaceful time in our troubled world. Take care you guys................Steve.

Hi Steve - very nice shot with your new - and I'm sure, deserved, toy! Colors and sharpness extremely nice - I'd prefer cropping this to just below the ornament upper right of Mr Puppy to place him in a better position - for me at least - A very good Christmas/New Years card and a pleasure to view - best wishes for '07 to you and Rosemary, I hope she's feeling better and recovering well - John

Hi John. Nice to have you drop in. I've yet to get to grips with the 5D in the field, but super thoughts for a full frame again. You're spot on re : cropping.......wish I'd paid more attention. Thanks for your critique..appreciated, and also for your kind thoughts for Rosemary.........still some way to go but she's in good spirit.......thanks for that. Wishing you and your family all the best for 2007...........Steve.
