looks like the willy (sorry, I said it, I'm bad) tree fell down between the two trunk, stripping the bark off itself (on the sides) and them at the contact points, creating a temporary path for the sap which enabled the trees to heal over the top.
Either that or an Ausie with a very large tool, drilled a 'kin great big hole in them for a laugh

Doesn't really light my candle Dr. But I would love to see some close ups/ abstracts of the scaffolding.

I downloaded a program called "Tune up Utilities 2009" and now it runs like it's brand new.
Is the 30 day trial worth a punt? Claire's lappy runs Vista and is diabolically slow now. (it used to be usable at least)

I love this John. I don't think it looks natural - it looks super real! but in a good way - magnificent and sumptuous. and I like the subtle star burst on the lights.
perfect use of HDR.
Karl, several shots will give you the highest dynamic range but processing the same raw file several times at different setting then using the output for 'HDR' works really well, especially for moving subjects in difficult light.

Very well deserved Lilly, well done.
Pint of Spingo on your return was it?

That first one is a great shot of a very common bird! I like the twigs and foliage. I suspect some will find them distracting.
Second one is a little sharp and I'm not so keen on the look of the creature.
You guys with your feeders in the way should take a look at this! Personally, I want to see birds flying or sitting somewhere natural, maybe I'm alone

What are you talking about Tel and Shim, every other person in the shot has a camera.
Bloody 'ell it hasn't got that bad just yet! The world is still quite a nice place you know...

I didn't even bother watching it, I gave in immediately assuming I couldn't afford it.
I'll relieve you of the Adaptall II PK/A mount, if you're going DA* Mike

rules might be there to be broken - Guilty as charged.
But Paul's right - it would be better off to the left.
I find them all a little sharp. the stag in particular (understandably) shows signs of being recovered, the vibrating twigs in the background give it away.
Love the criss-cross hairy planes. well seen. and the cat and the leaves.

might be a daft thing to bring up but was SR on? if so did you use a tripod? just trying to rule everything out.
