I have to say you get that look for 2 seconds ion my sprocker in the field before she bolts will sit for dummy until I release. I will say it again you have a talent and skill that I have not seen equaled or bettered ! top notch Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that others enjoy my work is very encouraging..so thank you very much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Just can’t believe that you can capture the spirit of your subject so well. You have obviously have a eye and memory for the finer detail Wishing you well and that you get out shooting soon. ps Mrs Agriv8 said she thought she was looking at a real spaniel photo !
