    All lovely captures, only critique would be the butterflies are a bit cramped in the picture, a slightly wider shot may have been better dependant on the background.

    Hi there Stephen and welcome to the Dgrin Forum.
    Your Bearded Dragon has quite a decent set of claws on him eek7.gif
    Love the detail you've captured in the texture of his skin.

    I'm with Brian on his comment about the Butterflies,
    but we also know how hard it is to get close to these fine creatures.

    Heck I have not seen a butterfly that close for a long long time,
    except for the Butter Fly House at the Zoo.

    Can't say I've ever see a Stilt Legged Fly, it's got great coloured eyes.

    Enjoy the forum Stephen, and please keep posting thumb.gif

    A real nice first post from you clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks Skippy,

    The Bearded Dragon appeared really suddenly infront of me and was too quick to look for a clear foreground/background. Too bad, the stem crosses it right at the neck area.

    As for butt, it was framed in portrait and was uncropped, which means there is no more rooms for landscapemwink.gif .

    Once again, thanks for the welcome!
    Cheers!
    Best Regards
    Stephen
