#2 Crab ?

Yep, sent me to the refrigerator. Love your compositions.
Nope, no Orentials in my refrigerator. Headed to the buffet. Love that food.
Thought about opening a restaurant years ago, but couldn't get anyone to work in the Lao Tsu Restaurant. Tried one called One Hung L.. Oh well.

Thank you Ron.  Hope the above didn't stimulate a binge eating splurge ! BTW in keeping with your restaurant name theme I have a set of shots (not mine) of highly unusually named Oriental restaurants that if you give me an email address I'll send to you to enjoy at your leisure.

Thank you Dave.

Once you've done it a few times then you have the confidence to do it all the time ! Just get in there and try (depending on where you live and who you are shooting there are a few provisos to that advice) !

I wasn't that surprised how they came out  - even at just 2 MPs - because I have a number of UW shots, taken a few years ago, at 3.3MP and printed at 8x10 that came out really well too.
