Shots from the archives #5

Still sorting out my shots from 2006! Here's some I didn't use at the time. Bit concerned I'm not getting any better.

Wow, these are some stunning shots Brian! The dragonfly and bubble blowing fly shots, especially. IT can't be easy to get better than these...

Back then Brian were you stacking your shots?
I still sit here in awe of your work
You just continue to amaze me.
Your shots from your archives are just as stunning as your new shots

Thanks for the comments all much appreciated

Skippy - think I must have just started focus stacking as some of these shots had bad focus stacks with them. I've got a lot cleverer at focus stacking since then and managed to restack the originals (some by hand).

Have to admit I'm not sure I could do better than many of these shots now !
