Bob, Yes, indeed, a very nice photo! Crisply focused throughout. Did you say you now were working with a Canon G11/G12? I assume you shot this at f8. My research indicates that the aperture can be set at f8 throughout the focal length range from 28mm to 140mm (equivalent). Is that true? I'm thinking of purchasing a G12...looks like you can make it work just fine! Again, very nice photo!
