Another great photo, Doug!

Nice catch light in his (her?) eye, too!

Noise levels look pretty good!

Dunno about you, but I'm finding that my DM-R overexposes about 1/2 
stop, as compared to film. Which is interesting, as its' the same 
metering system!

Because of this, I'm now either underexposing 1 stop and correcting 
1/2 stop or underexposing 1 1/2 stops and correcting one, which seems 
to yield better contrast and saturation with fewer blown highlights.

We're still waiting for most of our migratory birds...  Snow's been 
gone for about 2 weeks, but last night we got a fresh, light dusting 
of the white stuff!

However, the lakes are starting to thaw, and the migrations should 
soon be here.

Which software are you using to 'develop' your images?

BTW... you say this is outside your _office_ window... err... 
shouldn't you have been working???  ;-)

Cheers!
