Thank you RogerBeautiful, simply beautiful. a really great shot Allan
That's a great macro Allan, love the water drops and dof with the black BG.
ThanksLovely!
ThanksAs Roger says, simple but very effective.
Thank you NickySuper detail, and I like the way you have placed it to one side.
Looks even better on Flickr, huge DOF from F4
That suits the theme well Allan.
ThanksVery nice Allan - love a canal!
Liquid - lovely, can't say more!
Distant - fits the bill nicely
Nice Liquid picture Allan, my type of photo
ThanksThat looks the kind of little path I would enjoy walking very much.
Thanks DaveLovely focus on the bug Allan, liking the colours of it against the white.
I did look it up. As long as it stays outside its fine by me.Interesting little creature... great detail and interesting and complimentary background .
In fact - rather than just a "bug", it would appear it might be a varied carpet beetle!
Thanks RogerGreat detail Allan and the background brings out colour of the bug.
That made me laugh "macro seems quite straight forward" its a nightmare, I tend to use it for still life really, hats off to some of those photographers in the macro part of the forum.Nice focus on the bug against the background, just bought my first macro lens off here.
Macro seems quite straight forward apart from lighting/shade/ flashes/multiple flashes, focus stacking, hoping the bugs stay still, weather / wind if outside and no doubt a few other issues.
Thank you SimonLovely shot Allan. Great detail and clarity.
Nicely composed and lovely colour. He looks a bit like a carpet!
ThanksGreat close-up Allan.
What a great POV you have chosen for this image.
Thank youNice one Allan
As @Baloo said you have chosen a great angle and framing for the shot which really emphasises the size and "robustness"
I often see impressive trees on walks and try to take a shot conveying that but when looking at shots later find I often fail. It's a skill to be able to choose the best framing.
ThanksBang on POV showing just how robust this old tree is, great colours.
