I know someone who has a lens like yours. Your photos are like day & night compared to his. Your handling of your gear is superb. I consider you as one of the best photographers of the PBPF. Congratulation on your picture being chosen BPOTW. It is truly the best picture of the week. Well done Martin. Mabuhay.

Excellent capture, MARTZ. Oh, what a feeling... for sure you were screaming 'GOTCHA!' silently. I wish all members will always have moments like this one.
Btw, how can this tiny beauty hang on to the balimbing... well i think it is deciding whether to let go or not... he, he... same dilemna we have with our politicians. Tough choices for 2010.
