   You really capture such quite perfect moments with your camera.

     Thanks. I really enjoy shooting close-up shots, whether it it is with my telephoto lens or with my macro lens and I guess that a lot of my better shots are close-ups. Somehow I just don’t “see” the big picture most of the time and have really trouble doing landscapes, for example.

   That’s an interesting palette of colours. And yes – caught the song right away.
