    Jor, se hace lo que se puede :) y aunque yo no tengo que ver con el pleito Magallanes/Caracas (yo sigo siendo fiel a las Aguilas aunque siempre perdamos JEJE) estoy de acuerdo que hay que reconocerle que se las trae.

    Alfon, jajaja! quedaste mal? bueno, en realidad son 3 fotos distintas montadas una encima de la otra, y le baje la opacidad a las dos primeras para que se vieran medio transparentes. Cualquier cosa si quieres saber mas detalles me avisas y con gusto te explico.

    cayo, jajaja nachos cotufa y perrocaliente... con tal que no sean las tres al mismo tiempo, porque capaz no podemos terminar de ver el juego del dolor de barriga.

    Mauricio, imposible! :D y bueno el secreto es que son 3 imagenes distintas superpuestas, igual que le dije a Alfon si te interesa saber mas detalles enviame un correo y te explico mejor.

    Orlando, gracias chamo... y si cuando te compres la cámara vemos que te puedo enseñar por ahí.

    Daniel, en verdad me gustó mucho el hecho que estaba de espalda para poder tomarle el nombre/número. Me alegro que te guste loco! saludos.

    Marife, 5mil pa'l pote!... graciaaas!!

    UK :)

    Erika, yo espero también porque tu sacas buenísimas fotos de deportes, asi que espero verla! jeje... tienes razon con lo de la fotografía estroboscópica :)

    teshima, I know, I'm back :) hopefully I'll post more often now. Thanks for stopping by!! always glad to have you around here.

    Nina, jaja que chimbo, si hubieras ido capaz nos encontrabamos :P

    BP, así parece! jeje.. gracias por pasar loco.

    Pa, me alegro que te haya gustado, a diferencia de la del estadio jeje!

    Mike, thanks man! I should call him up, see what he can give me.

    Paul, thanks! and he better has some excellent form with the kind of money he's making for it! hehe!

    Thanks Serge, glad you like it.

    Lizz, thanks!! :D

    Tor, thank you! there were actually a lot of fans around, so it wasn't THAT hard =)

    Pank, cierto... voy a ponerle! gracias por el comentario loco. Saludos!! ya tienes el morral listo? jeje!
