    Thanks, he's on an auto antenna. Not very natural but at least he didn't move. Gotta start somewhere.
    These show alittle more detail of the underside.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I was hoping for the 3 headed fire breathing variety. :): Nice shots. Like the color, sharpness of those. I've not nailed (or seen) a dragonfly yet. ne_nau.gif Someday soon..perhaps?

    Cheers

    It looks like she is hanging onto that crome knob for dear life.:D

    I did not see in your profile what camera you are shooting with, Allen.

    Are you using a P&S or a DSLR? The background could be more blurred if shot at a wider aperature if you are using a DSLR. WIth a P&S, it will be harder to blur the background more due to the greater DOF of the smaller lenses and sensors.

    A quote from Nic "proud owner of $1,000 8mp small camera".rolleyes1.gif Shooting up close in macro I
    had the 828 at f8. I did run a heavy NR on the background and probably should have
    added a bit of blur.
