    Yes, I like #2 as well. I think it's the first time I have seen an insect face that almost looks cute.

    Cheers,

    Very interesting shots. Dragons are one of my favorite subjects. None around here now, but hopefully soon. I really like the first head shot. The colors are very nice. Some of the others look a tad overexposed on my setup, or maybe its just the highlights. I use the highlights/shadows feature of PS CS2 alot. Keep them coming.

    Wonderful shots.
    The Headshots are excellent- great colour and clarity.
    The other shots do have some overexposure but are excellent shots of the dragon with it's prey. Well done :)
    The "eggs" are probably not eggs but more likely to be parisitic mites.

    Thanks.. I'm using a Pentax *istDS with Pentax SMC-DA100mm Macro stacked on a Pentax 1.7x TC and Sigma 1.4x TC. I set the f-stop between f13 as i was shooting it handheld.. ISO 400 to increase my shutter..with Sigma EF500.
