Thanks Karen, but I figure that keeping that long range shot as a follow-up would be kind of like making a bad sequel to a good movie

It's easy to change the order of the images by dragging them around in edit mode if you want to keep the whole series!
Allen Hoof
Two votes gets it done. Thanks for the ID, Liam. I agree and will edit my spotting.
Allen Hoof
Thanks, Karen. The main/lead image is the first one I took, before zooming in. I considered leaving it out altogether as the other two images do indeed show the action better--in more detail. Perhaps, given your reinforcement of my initial worries, I'll simply delete the long-range image.
Liam
I agree with Karen here; I like the second photo best. :)

Great spot allen! I suggest you make photo 2 or 3 the main image as they more clearly shows the action & you should get more viewings of this interesting series!
