I would have tried to get in closer to bring out some detail of the tree rings , the grain.
Mmm, fair point. Should have thought of that.

I dont think the grass adds to the picture.... colours are nice.

ps. I delete most of my shots too.
I agree. But the DoF was as small as I could make it. Is there a way in Paintshop to blur a background. When I tried, I could blur the whole image, but couldn't select an area

We went for a walk this evening, so I took my camera; just in case.
I tried to bear in mind everything you guys have told me, and looked at things from different angles. Even looked at things I would have ordinarily walked past.

Most of what I shot will get deleted

But, I liked this one.
So; C&C please, am I learning?

I have to say, though. I love your bug pictures. All the bugs around here look rather flat. But that's because the Mrs has stood on them

Had to be

My daughter, ( the one with the teeth as Chris A would say ), seems to have caught your bug. She has a little cheap digital camera and I think it has been on its macro setting since she got it.

Mmmm...this earwax tastes great

I thought you only had macro lenses!.

Nice moment caught on camera.

I even gird up my loins and went to Hyson Green to shoot some real life and blow me the place was deserted on a Saturday afternoon.

It's funny. I went out with a particular shot in mind, only to find the local nightclubs don't have big bright neon lights anymore.

Shows how long it is since I went out on the town

But it works. The C&C is very useful. And having something to aim for makes me look harder.
I am glad that you resized your entry before JR came along
By eck, you're quick. I re-sized about a minute after I posted it!!

Just have to say. I am looking in absolute awe at some entries, this week. Good luck judging this round Gartmore.

Same! I put mine in for the chance to get some C&C as there ain't no chance of winning with what had already been posted!

Nothing on TV worth watching these days anyway

Hello everyone
I understand technology and also have a reasonable grasp of the 'theory' of photography but generally take crap pictures! I don't think I have the eye for it.

Still, I'm looking forward for the chance to practice and improve.

Cheers

Hi Paul!

Sounds like you are already one step ahead of where I am at the moment

But I've got to say these are a really nice bunch of folks who'll help you when you ask.
