#2/3 are stunning.... now rest those knees

Well done for putting down the 150-600 for once

Have to agree with Bryn about 2 & 3 they are both brilliant Les, I think No 3 just edges it of me..

sod off Bryn I hurt well badly damaged my right Knee in an accident at work, so it just the one knee that needs resting and I do sometime leave the 150-600mm in the bag
was nice to sit with the 105mm for once ( EXIF is intact- Just for you)

Lovely shots les, oh how I would love to get a shot of one of those demoiselles. Rest that knee well.

A really great set of images Les, with some nice fine detail and good composition. #2, & #3, are probably my favs'.

George.

 

[Norkie]

Excellent set there, well done

 

[RJL2005]

Your own demoiselles now we're jealous! Really nice set Les. Hope the knee heals well

 

[GardenersHelper]

Well done Les. That's a good set with a nice variety of subjects. I just hope you don't put too much strain on that knee too soon and delay your recovery.

Thank you Graham, I will - I tripped whilst out Hunting and smashed my knee on a very sharp rock, almost took off my right knee cap, so a tad painful

Wonderful banded demoiselle shots they are one of my favourites and you've done a great job on them
so lucky to have them in your garden you must be near to a river

Sounds like you are getting better .... very positive... what were you chasing when you damaged your knee?
