i believe it is not the camera or lens but the photographer that takes an outstanding image. of course with a better cam you might have better quality but still it doesnt mean you get "the shot" ...

with that said i like the image but find it a bit too dark (underexposed) for my taste.

click away because that is the best way of learning.

Welcome to DPS. I like the composition f your photo, but I agree with anitamphoto that the exposure could have been a little lighter. Great clarity though! Thanks for sharing, and keep clicking that shutter button!
