[Leica] IMG: More Experimenting with Bird Images

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Douglas,

I agree, if I get the white board placed properly, it improves the 
scene.  For me, I find that a short tele at a close distance works 
better than a long one with a far off subject, so a sneaky blind and an 
enticement to come close is the approach that I am pursuing.
