Geoff,
I have four of Doug's prints, not just one or two - I also have prints
by John Shaw, Art Wolfe, Andy Rouse, and any number from my pro and
semi-pro wildlife photographing friends in India. I cannot make out,
for example, that Doug shoots Leica, John Shaw shoots Nikon and Art
Wolfe shoots Canon by looking at the prints. In fact I can see very
little technical difference between them. Must be my eyesight, which
admittedly is not improving with age!
Cheers
Jayanand
