This sia a beautfil photo, captures the delicate idea of the mother and offspring relationship wonderfully!

Where was this taken? on a farm?

Thank you
Was taken at a veterinary hospital (high risk pregnancy with a good outcome)
It was a slight snap as I was there to be the vet, not take pictures... it would have been great to get the flash off the camera for the shot but there wasn't time

We've had dogs and cats - so I thought I'd begin a horse thread at the beginning...

Apple keeps stuff ridiculously under wraps

Apple have issued press invitations for the rumored iPad3 launch March 7th
Is Canon really that much better at keeping press invitations under wraps?

I may have slightly overdone the HDR....

EOS Bodies / Re: With D800, are 5dII owners seriously considering switching systems? Like now?

I was really unimpressed with the amount of noise in the landscape example

Look at the green bushes just behind the yellow flowers

This picture makes me happier that I bought the 5D2 late last year, not regret it

For what its worth - here are the results of image analysis in www.pskiller.com
I much prefer errorlevelanalysis.com for judging if images are composite, but it is down at the moment

As for the fragility issue, that pretty much a crock. I've abuse the crap out of my equipment over the years, and have never once broken a flip screen on any point and shoot, DSLR or video camera that I have ever owned. With just a hint of common sense and thought, it can be easily avoided.

I broke the flip screen on a Fuji s9600 twice - normal use, no trauma - just stopped working...

The original judgement is quite instructive (as linked by dpreview):

To my mind it is a fairly unique case that will not set a precedent....

FWIW I ran one of the pics through errorlevelanalysis.com - no signs of photoshopping....
