Nice close up Ian. Maybe a bit higher in the frame if you have enough to play with .
Nice to see someone else using the self timer !! Useful tool
Cheers

Cheers John

How this one then ? a bit bigger in frame

Sorry to be a pain but I reckon somewhere in between ? I still prefer this to the first. Its brought out the sharpy bits more. I personally think if you're going for close up then go the whole hog. Others will not agree.
Great chance for some stacking on this eh ??

Smart shots Ian, where dragons are concerned, the bigger the better, so that would be the second one foe me.
