Description
Comin’ in on a wing and a prayerWhat a show, what a fight
Boys, we really hit our target for tonight
How we sing as we limp through the air
Look below, there’s our field over there
Though there’s one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer.

Very kind of you to say so. A little too 'big-league' for me right now. Will try some local publications to see how it works out.
Thanks.

I've never set one up. Not sure how/if it works for those in foreign countries?

It should work for you. I have one and have never used it. I wish I could give it to you!!!!

I did look into it but was uncertain how payment to foreign countries would work (if it would work). So I never bothered to investigate further?

If it's through paypal, I believe they convert for you. I'm not sure about anything else. Maybe someone else on here, who's reading this, can help?

PayPal doesn't work in South Africa; I know that for certain. There is a dispute with the South African Revenue Services (SARS - Uncle Sam) which hasn't been resolved.

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps you could e mail the help desk here at DA and see if they can help you?

It's not a big thing in my life so that's probably why I haven't pursued it. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

I just tried looking at the help desk for print accounts, I couldn't find the answer either. That's a shame, they should have something on here about that.

A knockout... GORGEOUS. I can't begin to tell you how much I like this image, and how good it is. For those Photographers that have never tried this kind of image, it's hard to explain just how difficult this image is to achieve. Very well done, Ian. I'd have to make a huge print of this one to hang on the wall.

Dan, thank you so much for showing appreciation for the effort. You know what it takes, but photography is definitely not a chore. I love it!
A nice big print sounds good to me too.
