21	Mar 26	Comment	Beautifully caught in flight in it's down from the branch, which is part of the story. Very colourful foliage, caught in the good lighting. A successful shot to be proud of!	Mar 22nd
21	Mar 26	Comment	Very good owl shot looking straight at the camera. I like the fact that the background shows it's natural habitat without distracting from the bird itself!	Mar 22nd
21	Mar 26	Comment	A good action shot of the stilt striding. Just a shame that the top reeds have clashed slightly with it's head.	Mar 22nd
21	Mar 26	Comment	A super capture of the three heron in motion. I have taken the liberty of moving the front heron a little closer to the middle one, and cropped to tighten the action.	Mar 22nd
21	Mar 26	Comment	Pin sharp with great colouration. Background has been nicely treated. I particularly like the activity in the feet, showing it's claws off well.	Mar 22nd
21	Mar 26	Comment	Timed to perfection with that vigorous shake and spray. Not a bird that I have ever heard of, so of extra interest to me! Very dramatic and a great capture.	Mar 22nd

95	Mar 26	Comment	I certainly think that you have created a very arty close-up, and a nice change from the normal attempt we all seem to have of creating a pin-sharp image. Unfortunately, The added wording almost cuts into the beautiful image, and distracts. A thin coloured frame would be nice, though!	Mar 24th
95	Mar 26	Reply	I sometimes use Topaz AI to super focus an image, but not in this case. I was amazed at the sharpness of this minute insect. The pic was hand-held with the Sigma 150 macro lens set at the 0.38 - 0.52m position. I bought this lens over 30 years ago, and it has served me very well!	Mar 24th
95	Mar 26	Comment	A good, sharp close-up of the kale. I agree that a slight crop would tighten every thing up.	Mar 24th
95	Mar 26	Comment	A superbly detailed image of the grasshopper well caught! Colours are great too. Curiously, the process seems to have over-sharpened the grass so that it seems slightly unnatural.	Mar 24th
95	Mar 26	Comment	61 stacks was a lot of hard work, and I like the original pic very much and wonder if all the extra work was needed. Also, in the final image some of the spikes have tended to white-out. Stick with that original which I enjoy immensely!	Mar 24th
95	Mar 26	Comment	A good rendition of the insect but unfortunately it's left wing has faded almost completely into the background. I think that the black triangular blur at the top should be cloned out, as it is distracting.	Mar 24th
95	Mar 26	Comment	Another lovely pattern picture created with your microscope technique. I personally like the border since it draws everything together. Beautiful!	Mar 24th
