I think there must have been so...Dear Mr Springman,<br />I think there must have been some smoke and mirrors there somewhere, but you kept them off camera very carefully ... really, you did a phenomenal projecting the mirror image of the titmouse(?if that's what it is?) back into the tree adjacent to the source image... excellent job !!!<br /><br />And I can't help but wonder if perhaps, just perhaps, you may have a few trace remnants of some Neanderthal DNA somewhere deep in those double helix spirals of genetic material of yours... because they too spent great amounts of time out in all sorts of weather watching wildlife. Their intentions were slightly different... i.e., eating it versus photographing it, but similar behavioral traits are necessary for both...<br /><br />No, I apologize, I must surely be mistaken, it is surely a simple coincidence.<br />:-)<br /><br />PS beautiful photos btw. the first two remind me of Porter again... (which is to say I think your work is on an equally high level as his, which is not something I would say lightly... given how deeply I revere his photography)Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-54004759777010159262010-12-10T17:16:37.589-05:002010-12-10T17:16:37.589-05:00The top two photographs caused me double and tripl...The top two photographs caused me double and triple takes.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-24253496170296220962010-12-10T16:00:24.307-05:002010-12-10T16:00:24.307-05:00Those first two of the tufted titmouses (titmice? ...Those first two of the tufted titmouses (titmice?
