2 super NH images there David, I like them both. Some good light and use of DOF. Might take some off of the LHS of the 2nd image and, if you have it, add a little more to the bottom for comp as it's a little central. I don't mind the size though.. :smile:

Lovely and colourful images, but I really like the second one the dark BG/light shows the colours of to a treat, lovely photos David :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Not a big fan of the wasp :biggrin: but a couple of nice shots none the less.

I very much like the first one but I'm not so keen on the second one. The behaviour and detail on the second is great but I'm not so keen on the obvious use of flash on that one.
