Lol, took me ages to find out what was going on here

ExactlyTiny Damsel flies is good enough and on theme, they are tiny if next to a human
Thank you DaveThink you have got enough detail in the shot of them and a good bg too
Cool, thanks again, wasn't sure if DoF was enoughFace is a good shot as you got the eyes sharp and a good dof, so well done on two cracking shots Dean
No worries... I have been to as well as many othersCatching up once again
Thank you, she was quite tall but I think there is an allusion with her legs, as they seemed to go on for everGood eye contact with the model and I don't mind the shadows but how tall was that model, looks like she must have been about 8ft!
Thank you againI like the comp on the Damselflies, they look good on the diagonal and the blue stands out well against the green leaves.
Hmmmm I was torn to be honest on where to crop, I went in and out several timesLove all the bits of pollen on the bee type bug, great for face. Not sure if I might have either cropped it closer to just have the face or a bit wider to include the back wing
No problem and no need to be sorry, not everyone or many people can comment on all images, appreciate what you have commented onOoops just scrolling back and realised I've somehow missed loads of your pictures in fact too many to comment on Sorry
Cheers Mark, I agree they do look strangeTiny's a cracker Dean. love the colours. Almost a robotic feel to it.
Correct and Correct, but hey I am up to date - thank you AllanTiny compositionly is really good it does look slightly over sharpened though, it could be the harsh light, insects are very shiny.
the hoverfly too is slightly off focus maybe, but as you say the wind and the very shallow DoF make this really hard
Thanks DavidThose 2 'Tiny' Damselflies are at it, what a lovely shot.
Thank you againI like your studio DK Big window, chunky radiator, Sharelle's looking at home there.
It was daylight but quite bright, I did try flash to try and freeze the movement in the reeds but light was too strong and 1/200 wasn't really cutting itLove the tiny, Dean. perfect for the theme and lovely composition. Like the way the bristles on "her" head catch the light. Was that daylight or flash?
Thank you, I'd like to be able to do it better for sure, and also have no idea what it was, it was very smallFace; I actually like the shallow DoF as it focuses attention on the face. Not sure what sort of bee/fly it is but impressive at that scale. would love to get into true macro,b but not sure where to start.
Cool, thanks for the big catch up TimHi DK,
Minimalism - Works for me. It's the kind of shot that makes you ponder on what is going on.
Progress - But are the new jumbo size Fix It Again Tony 500s really progress? I love the cuteness of the originals and that seems so right on that street.
Pleasure - I think I prefer the original version, before the cloning, it breaks the background up a bit but isn't overpowering. The bare wall is a bit, well, bare...
Lovely shot, though if that's how you hold your pool cue, I take it you don't often win.
Tiny - Good sharp image, I like the colours you've captured.
Face - Great detail, you can see the pollen that's stuck to the face and things.
Thanks AndyNice, I do like the horizontal line at the bottom...for some reason
Looks like it's rubbing it's hands
Cheers.
Thank you Allan and very true, something at the top of the tracks would of helpedThe cows for me very amusing, the first one is certainly on theme but not as engaging
I know hey... what a plonker - Thanks DaveAnother one for the cows, like how they all spotted you I think they are going tut tut, remember to always check your camera
Annnnd thank you too ChrisI like both for the theme but I think the cows get the vote
Thank you DomCows for me and I like the letterbox crop.
Thanks DavidI like letterbox too and pleased to see you've done it with both these.
First one's a strong image and unusual, I wonder what's growing there!
Hahaha yes, thanks againBut love the cows laughing at the cameraman
HAhaaha - Thank you too TimAnother vote for the cows. Did they want you to moooooove along?
Thank you very much@Dark Knight
had a look at al your photos in this thread. All I can say is your work is amazing, keep it up. All are good, but you deffo have some crackers too!
Cool, thank you DonnaGreat lines on the first one, but also a vote for the cows - love this photo
No idea Mark I am afraid... I think I saw something Green if that helpsWhats being grown in the first pic DK,do you know ?
Thank you MarkNice one DK, I do like a Bittern, and its not often you see an inflight shot.....
Thank you AllanWorks for me nice and clear against the BG
Thanks Dave yes it was at full stretch and boy this is a hell of a crop tooGraceful, right on the 200mm and I think you did a great job Dean, nice clear BG helps bring out the bird
yes it was at full stretch and boy this is a hell of a crop too
And here is mine from last week - Taken at the right time, whilst I was away for the weekend camping, only just had time to go through them and edit
Hmmmm I got this from RSPB Minsmere, we had a great day there, though I took my longest lens with it being a 70-200 it wasn't long enough to get in as close as I wanted, but still got some nice shots and still a nice day.
Here we have, I think, is a Bittern, damn it was a large bird and I certainly thought it flew through the air very gracefully for it's size
Week 28 - Graceful
Very good and graceful. Some people would just never see a Bitten ever let alone see one fly like that, lucky thing you.
Week 28 - Graceful by TP DK, on Flickr
Thank you Stan... and yes they do look like that don't theyAgriculture; The cow shot for me. Love how they are looking at the camera and probably wonder what's the man doing and why taking photos of us!.
And thank you againGraceful; great timing and well caught.
Ahhhh good thinkingOh, btw you need to edit the thread title.
Well... this is a MASSIVE crop already.
.
was wondering if a crop-to-zoom might be an idea but ...
It is wild marshland on the RSPB reserve, such a lovely setting... perhaps you thought you'd gone far enough. And, it is after all, a very nice setting ... is it just wilderness or farmer's corn/grass?
Oh dear... naughty youI've missed a lot of great shots while I've been so useless on commenting
Oooo thank you Em, I did have to take a few to get them in enough lightThe light on face is maybe a litttle harsh I think, but your tiny damselflies are fantastic...I love the composition and plenty of detail. I've never managed to get close to them mating like this - they make such a pretty shape!
I prefer it without the stimber bit too, odd how we miss stuff like that at times, rushing I guessThat's a fun shot for pleasure, and better with the clean background (not that I would have seen that!)
Annnnnd thank you again on both counts Em, and thanks too for the catch upand the bittern is a great shot, nicely composed. Your cows made me smile - love the crop on this
Good to be busy AndreaHi Dean, another catch-up from me, having missed your last few.
Thank you indeedyI really like all the details in Tiny and the composition, which allows you to see the metallic sheen to their bodies. Great find, and well captured
Thank you again, yes I think it could do with a closer crop I would echo George's comments on Face, about either cropping in closer on the face or including the top of the wing, but note that you struggled to decide yourself, and in any case the image is on theme and shows great detail and colour in that tiny face. It looks as though it's rubbing its 'hands' together, too
I am glad Is put that one up nowDefinitely the second Agriculture image for me with that line of calm, interested faces, and a nice range of colours too. The letterbox crop is perfect.
Cheers Andrea, and thank you too for the in depth catch up, really appreciated Graceful - it certainly is. I know nothing about birds but this one looks impressive in flight and stands out nicely against the muted background tones
Thank you DaveFruit, a nice shot Dean of your ripe plums. I like the water drops on the leafs and very nice colours
