Hello,

Sorry I've not been around recently, due to work commitments I've been quite tied up over the last month so I haven't been able to site down and give peoples photographs the time they deserve.

Went out playing with yet another new lens yesterday and met up with Ian and Brett, got this Damselfly later in the day when I switched to my macro lens. Foolishly I'd left my tripod in the car so had to hand hold. Doh!

Nice sharp picture. Especially the eyes around the grass. Almost mirrored. Terrific.

Well for a hand held effort, this is very nice! Must be all that Gym work!! :smile: :eek: :smile:

Like the angle, pity about the lighter stripe oof in the background.

Well done.

Ian :toast: :toast:

I like that a lot, well captured (and well spotted).

Crisp enough for hand-held. Like these 'bubble eyes' shots. Excellent symetry. The pale green line is a little distracting as it so dominant in the image (easily remedied).

Hi Nick,

I love it! Amazing you got it as sharp as you did hand holding it! Top stuff!

Really nice work Nick, comment about the lighter bit of grass has been said and will be worth working on. Great detail.

Made me grin when I saw it. The idea is great, just a pity about the stripe running across as mentioned. Can see this on the cover of a funny greetings card... perhaps Slimmer of the Week :wink:
