Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, right? if not, tell your parents that it's what the neighbor's kids got him

»Hey major...how do these two pictures make you feel? anything at all?
at first, I thought it looked really cool and professional, but for some reason, after seeing your other pics, it makes me feel like I'm hanging half-upside down and kinda nauseous... I'd suggest lowering the angle a little but, but keeping the composition (other side of the magnifying glass out of the picture). it may be hard to do with your camera, because you don't have a manual focus option (and even with manual focus, the depth would drop like a rock through that magnifying glass).
