You'll have to tell me if you are getting fed up of me posting Dragons - I just love 'em :biggrin:

One from this morning - just the other side of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire (someone was wanting more locations mentioned??).

Thought about cloning out the web thread but decided not to.

D2Xs
Sig 180
ISO 200
1/250 @ f8 (t/pod + 410)


3 shot manual stack in CS3 for at least some DoF

Thanks for looking :toast: :toast:

I'll stop soon - PROMISE!

No please don't stop....

Love dragons and damsels.... however for me this is not quite working, I'm not a huge fan of close ups unless they show a specific ID feature, (thats the science phot in me), the detail in the eyes is fantastic, and I believe worthy of a crop, as it stands the bits and bobs in the bg are a slight distraction, saying that I too have loads of images similar, often it cannot be avoided...

But please keep them coming.
