Single shot, no stacking. Believe me, if she'd held still for more than a fraction of a second, I'd have tried. Gosh they're quick! To top everything off, this was one of the shots I was importing into Lightroom when my system gave me the "Blue Screen of Death" and I lost all my LR3 Catalogs. See the thread here if you want to commiserate. Thanks for looking and, as always, critique willingly taken:

    And just for grins, here's a severe crop. She had a pretty good dusting of pollen:

    This is really scary. eek7.gif Maybe it would be a good idea for you append your story to mine in this thread in the Finishing School. There might be more going on than just my ineptitude.

    Firstly, I love the colours, sharpness and dof in your image. The crop shows how well you have donethumb.gif.

    I am also using Lightroom 3 and recently have been advised to back-up my catalogue prior to closing the program. I have also had invoked the catalogue repair utility. Why this should happen, I have no idea. Lightroom 2 and 1 never caused these issues. It is hard to believe that the release of 3 followed extensive Beta testing.
    Cheers

    Thank you Peter!

    I never had a speck of trouble with LR1. Now I'm so paranoid, I haven't had a decent night's sleep since mi LR3 imploded. Till I have the whold thing backed up three different ways, I'm nervous as a long-tailed cat at a clog dancing convention.
