Flies
All good. But the last one for me, please. It's an action shot - the beast is trying to do something, rather than looking like it's just standing around waiting for a person with a camera to turn up. And the full res view of the 'fleshy' bit above the middle leg is stunning in a yukky sort of way. ...

I'm liking #4, that's one scary-looking dude/girl. seemingly jumping out at you from the out of focus area to the left.

Blue-Bell Forest, where Magic happens without effort! Oh England, I am in LOVE!
If I took a child, and drop the child into a magical place...This would the sight you would see. This place looked liked an old English painting. What a back drop!

Blue-Bell Forest, where Magic happens without effort! Oh England, I am in LOVE!
Fantastic! The bluebells work in great with the greens. The last is my favourite. but it's almost a tie with the first. I like them all even the B&W which I I'm usually not keen on. Not having a blank line between the posted photos isn't giving them the presentation they deserve. Hope you don't m...

Some different flies
Excellent bit of "reality" shooting. I didn't realise dung flies did that. I thought they just poddled about on cow pats. This is what I like about macro. You learn all the time. I have seen dung flies with prey before, and have posted some shots last week, but this was the first time I've seen it...

Some 6x7 pics never scanned before --
Hope your back to your photographic self shortly Pete. I like the stag and the cottage best. Who needs a digital camera camera when film can do this :lol:

Well, happy to have sparked a bit of interest - more photographers than professional farmers around, it seems! As regards the different patterns in no.5, I had spotted an even more eye-catching set earlier in the day, but by the time I got back with the camera for the evening light, they had cleare...

Reeds - an obsession?
To be honest I thought these looked a little weak on first look, but I've been back to them a couple of times and they do draw you in with those calm, soft swirls. I suspect they are best seen at large size and probably hanging on a wall :!: Keep at it - it's great to see work that is that little...

Dunsborough Park
Dunsborough Park is a privately owned manor house in Ripley, Surrey. It opens the gardens to the public a handful of times a year. There was not much colour on display as they are resting the Dutch garden which should normally be full of tulips, but it was fun exploring the grounds and especially th...

Spot the Dog
While idly looking through the viewfinder before heading for home, a head popped up in the corner. It would have been rude not to press the shutter button. A few seconds later its human appeared, phone to head and oblivious to me, surroundings and possibly even the dog. Taken with K3 and FA77. Th...

Spot the Dog
Given the importance of the 'pop-up' dog I think f2 is quite appropriate since it grabs the subject and mutes the surroundings. To have gone to a smaller aperture would introduce a lot of competing detail. (I'm assuming you don't have a wider one!). This 'pop-up' fox was a grab shot too, but at a...

Scotland ...The Hidden Gem! Fairy Bridge
Deep on the back roads in Scotland.... way off in the woods, runs a small but powerful stream of water. On one of the wettest dark over cast days, we travelled up a slippery slope of muck and moss in the early evening with two small toddlers, one teenager, and three hungry adults.....BUT at the top ...

Ants
Both superb, the second may appear to be the better shot but the first one is probably a far more difficult shot to pull off - I like the focus on the eye and the background colours 8)
