    Where are the insects??

    It's funny you should say that. At about this time last night we were in the garden and had bats circling and dive-bombing us, and we have never ever seen them before around here. It was like something out of a Hammer House of Horrors tale.

    At the end if the day it's up to Simon what he chooses to do with his pics. Some egos on here seem to think it is all about the money, but that's not necessarily true for non professionals. He hasn't robbed anyone of a fee and it is a bit hysterical to suggest that the newspaper publishers...

    I get where you are coming from Simon. As an amateur I'd be chuffed at having something in public print too. Enjoy your "15" minutes of fame and don't let the " **** on your fireworks" brigade on here get you down. I too am beginning to see it isn't the friendly forum it portrays itself to be. A...

    This forum is supposed to be helpful. If you have your head so far up your own arses that you don't want to offer help then why not keep shtum instead of giving patronising or sarcastic replies.

    On a couple of occasions I have asked questions on here that I could have quite simply searched on google. However, I asked them here as I felt this community would give the soundest advice without a personal interest. Let's face it, a vast number of google, yahoo search returns are sponsored...

    I prefer the second one Rob. Although I said previously a pure black background is needed I do think that the graduated one works ok here, probably due to the floral wallpaper distractions gone. Nice work .

    Fabulous detail and colour on the lily. I can see what Tina means though . To the left there is a distracting floral pattern and then again on the fade to white from black. As has already been said would be great on a pure black background. .

    One from my reef

    when I commented last night I had only viewed this on my phone and had,( i can see now), overestimated the quality of my screen display. Having now viewed this on a proper screen I can now see properly the effect of the darkened edges making the subject stand out. It actually doesnt look like a...

    Or maybe a slightly opaque vignette might work better. I just think as it is the vignette looks too dramatic and to me it looks like a view through a keyhole. Again only my personal opinion. Others may love it . Martin
