We are not worthy

He is obviously to digiscoping what Michael Frankis is to Bird I.D.

What a sumptuous shot.

The quality is unbelievable there! I think calling him a legend is an understatement.

Welcome, Laurence, and BEAUTIFULLY mastered digiscoped photo of yours, as well and, as usual !

I am wondering now if Canada's Ann Cook might be persuaded to join us at this Forum and post some of her wonderful Digiscoped photos?

I can't think of any more words than have already been used to describe your incredible picture, so let me just tell you Welcome to the Forum. I think the bar has just been raised considerably for those of us aspiring to get better pictures! Steve -Thanks for the link to his site. Wow over 600 pictures - I can't wait to see all of them.

I've had a look at the rest of Lawrence's photos on the gallery (these are the only shots of his I've ever seen - not that I've been looking out for them) and the Barbet is without doubt the best amongst them.
Not being one to shy away from controversy, I didn't see anything else on his gallery that hasn't been equalled or bettered by the likes of Redwing et al. That's not to say his shots aren't wonderful, just that I was expecting them all to be as good as the barbet posted here.
