Description This was also shot while in Italy
Not perfect, but good enough in my opinion

Man is an idiot. He doesn't know how to do anything without copying, without imitating, without plagiarizing, without aping. It might even have been that man invented generation by coitus after seeing the grasshopper copulate - Augusto Roa Bastos quotes

Thanks Chris
I had not noticed that the exif data was missing ..... probably cause I saved it as a bmp and then converted it back to jpg (I will be including the exif data with the comments)
It was taken with the SX110 IS

Nicely framed Chris, and you've achieved some good colours, pity about the focusing being just a few hair's widths off target :/ Or is the watermark making the right eye look like its kind of blurry?
Either way a very good effort

painting-with-light In reply to stephenfarrugia [2009-09-22 13:42:56 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much
The right eye is slightly over exposed and probably slightly off focus
