Careful John or you will be averaging as few comments as me. :biggrin: :wink: I think this image is excellent though it seems that few others think it is worth commenting on. Must be the subject rather than the photographer in your case. :eek: :wink:

Its the subject( and a bit of the other )
When I put this on I wrote down on a bit of paper what I reckoned the comments would be.
I actually got one more than I expected so I,m cool !!
Very predictable.

As "a bit of the other" I will add a comment and upset your list again :biggrin: :wink: Great detail. Don't know how you managed stacking a subject that wriggles. I have been trying some stacking. Thought I had a good grasshopper. It is only when uploaded that you notice the darn thing has moved one antenna in each frame :mad:

Its almost impossible , with stuff thats liable to move but you can get away with it by carefully going through the list and finding the offending pic and then removing it.
Try it .
Cheers
