Yes, the...Hi Betsy, Yes these are incredible shots. Yes, the water does look like silk and those moss covered rocks. Does he enter contests? By the way Terry introduced me to my first SLR way back when we were dating. He loves it, but it has become my passion and he is analytical, plays by the "rules", and like George takes one or two really great shots while I am taking 50! Seriously. Also, I have "visions" of exactly what I want, which is why we are always turning around, stopping, because I just have to get the "feeling" in a photo. He simply does not have this gift, nor I his gift for being more of "real" professional photographer. We learn from each other and our differences like in every other aspect of our marriage, enrich, not divide us. Thank goodness for digital cards. Thank you for sharing your hubby gorgeous photos and bragging about him. I also see that his daughter is a professional photographer. Like father, like daughter.
