And even then sometimes, have to paste together and ear or an eye from one to the next to get the best results. My camera is sufficient for shooting cats at the shelter-- though now that I live near trees and I'm seeing so many pretty birds in the yard, I'm thinkin' about upgrading to something with a better zoom. Heh, onward and upward... Happy painting and happy holidays to you.
