Stunning image David would look very nice large and framed. No 3D?

Thanks Nick, I'm glad somebody likes it! :eek: :biggrin: :wink: :wavey:
Most of my images are 3D now, but apart from your good self and one or two others
3D seems to have no interest on here, which is a shame as I would like some competition
So I can improve my technique. 3D images can be absolutely fantastic viewed on a good
3D monitor. I've recently bought another Fujifilm W3 as it looks like there's not going to be
a successor from Fujifilm, unfortunately. :frown: Cyclopital are working on a 3D rig for two cameras
which is good news, IMHO. Also there may be 3D potential in the new camera module for the Raspberry Pi computer. There's plenty going on in the extra dimension. :biggrin: :cool:

Nice viewed large. Good to see something different:biggrin:
I still like the 3d but as you say- not really worth posting on here.

David it looks great to me just as it is that dark bg really sets it off.
