Hi Doug,
Now doesn't that just beat all! :-) Smashing good photograph Doug. And quite 
frankly I don't care if you were using a broom and hammer to make the 
picture it's quite remarkable. A very good on you!

Incredible simply because;
A) what are the odds of getting it in the first place.

B) the fly and the eye were at exactly the same focus point

C)  If someone were assigned to shoot this and didn't understand horses as 
Doug does and his ability to photograph nature as quickly as he does, they'd 
never get a shot like this in a million trys.

And despite the element of luck involved, it still took a photographer with 
a good eye to focus, re-act and shoot..... "in the blink of an eye!" ;-)

Congratulations Doug!

ted
