Luck has absolutely nothing to do with it. I have about 10,000 more of the
same genre.

I suppose you are wrong. The one where it was just lifting from the water
wasn't as interesting as this one with the drops of water trailing it in
the air.

I would also suppose you are an untalented and unskilled idiot, but I
already know you are an untalented and unskilled idiot by your own proof,
so I won't suppose that.

LOL!

Monitors slowly evolving?

No, you missed the point as usual, Rich. What we have here is Michael
Reichmann *rapidly* evolving into a shill for Eizo monitors!

Is there *any* item of imaging equipment that Reichmann would refuse
to shill for on his "Ludicrous Landscape" site?

No answer sought or needed. ;-)

More colours than the human eye can discern?

Why pay for that?

Nice technique - so you stuffed the bird, suspended it by wires, and
used clear polyester resin for the "water droplets".

Yes, and emulated the Everglades' swamp-water with resins as well. The
sunlight glinting off the resins and backlighting the subject provided by a
50 kilowatt, liquid-nitrogen cooled, CREE LED lighting system focused
through a bank of cold-mirrors, filters (to emulate setting-sun
temperature), and condenser system so as not to exceed the ~0.5� angular
spread of the setting sun for authentic water-droplet glints. The Mangrove
bank background was painstakingly duplicated in fiberglass, resin cements,
and various forms of cloth to duplicate the leaves and their textures. All
dyed in natural colors using ash-dyes for authenticity.

You forgot to claim it was also taken with a DSLR, just like all the rest
of your fellow useless pretend-photographer trolls around here always claim
every time I post one of my NON-DSLR images.

Let this be a lesson to you, that *ANY* camera in the hands of a skilled
and talented person will surpass anything you will ever be able to
accomplish with even the most expensive camera in the world. What a shame
that you can't even get a decent photograph with a more-than-capable P&S
camera. It speaks tomes about your own inadequacies. If I was that mutt of
yours I'd be looking for new owners at the very next campsite, just out of
embarrassment of having you as my owner.
