Thanks - all of you! Tony, I do like your idea on the crop. You all made very valid points that are much appreciated. This lens zooms differently then my others and it was like patting my head and rubbing my stomach getting used to it.
I had a booth at this show and was selling artwork. I did get approval from the show chair to shoot outside of ring win shots. I have been an OP and I do understand the problem with who should shoot where and when. But that seems to be on another thread. To be continued there.....

Glad to see you back Tony and hope all the health issues are resolved soon. Julie, James and Marty, you are always helpful on this section. Thanks
