Nice detailed shot Major, but I want to keep turning it to the left ! :smile:
Which way did you take it ?

See what you mean John but thats the way it was.
I need to go back to the drawing board I think, but you have no idea if people dont tell you its crap or not as the case may be.
Many thsnks. :smile:

Interesting comment from JR, as I too immediately turned my head to look at it oriented to the left. Might be something to do with the way the rays fan out in the wood?

Nice image... strange that desire to turn it to the left... possibly Dave has hit the nail on the head....

Hi Major
Not cr=p by any means ! It just looks funny but I tried it rotated left and it didn't solve the problem. Must be the radiating lines. Anyway- it's a tree frog !! :biggrin: :wink: (getit ? )Cheers

HI Major, doesn't quite work for me this one because of the strong detail in the log. Also the frog has some 'fluff' stuck to it.. Also because some of the toes are curled under it just looks like it's been 'dropped' there.. I only mention this because I know they do it when I've tried photographing them in different locations.

Kind regards,

Brett :toast:
