Lovely shot Ian, great detail on the damsel fly

 

[Duck_Pond]

That's rubbish Ian I see today went well. I'm jesting of course.

 

[IanC_UK]

Thanks guys, couldnt believe it when it came in with the damsel, it had been caterpillers and spiders up to then !

How did your trip go Pete ?

 

[Duck_Pond]

Alright - saw quite a bit, got a few half decent shots, but nowt special. Absolutely knackered now though... was up at 5am and on Long Mynd by 7am.

I must be mad.

Can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said, but now I've started................superb

 

[markyboy.1967]

That is fantastic.As said before the colour of the damselfly just adds to it.

 

[Ian D J]

That is a neat shot! Good detail on the bird and damselfly. Also great use of depth of field.

 

[snappertvr]

Very nice shot Ian.

 

[Jogriff]

Great shot!
How do you do that border with the camera data, is it an automatic feature in photoshop. Sorry for asking, only coming to terms with CS4, there's a lot to learn.

 

[purpleclouds]

A nice shot! The foreground nettle leaf covers the birds right foot and is a little distracting though.

 

[kaz10]

Brill shot Ian

The border is a script downloaded from here http://www.upgradeyourmac.co.uk/Cowasaki/Site/Script_EXIF.html Cowasaki is a member here, there is a thread discussing the script and its various developments somewhere but i couldnt find it unfortunately.

A cracking image Ian, there is just one thing that gets my attention straight away, and that is the eye appears to be a little soft.
Edit: I have just gone back to the image again Ian and will stick with my first thoughts. As you are probably aware it is nothing that cannot be sorted with a small amount of selective sharpening but I am surprised that nobody else has mentioned it.

 

[Granarystudio]

thats special

 

[Gaz J]

That's a great image
