Nice pic. Like the tree in the background. Wanda strikes me as a convertible type of lady, more than a PT type!

About the new 100-400IS. I really haven't played with it that much, Wanda used it in Yellowstone. Looking through her photos I would say it is a pretty sharp lens wide open at 400mm. I will say it isn't as sharp as my 400f/5.6L or not even close to the 300f/2.8L IS with an extender. But I'm not sure anyone could tell the difference without two prints side by side. For sure it is good enough for many applications.

First I'll respond about "Internet Paranoia"

Ok, the reality is that, like most of us, people know our names and about where I live. They could just look in the phone book and get most of our addresses. I think we should worry more about someone following us home from the grocery store, than worrying about someone finding us from the license plate on a car in a photo. Pervs are everywhere not just on the Internet.

Excellent shot!
Btw. what do you think of the 100-400mm lens? Is it sharp enough at f/5.6 @400mm?
Or the 300mm 1:4 L IS + 1.4 extender is sharper? Thanks in advance!
Cheers

i have really enjoy'd your photos over the years, very nice work. i would however consider editing out the license plate number of the car in this pic, as its very easy to get an address from a plate number these days wihtout much effort.
