The subject, composition, lighting, and colours are superb. Is the focussing a bit off though?

The rose doesn't look sharp but the leaf in front does look sharp.

Did you soften the sharpening in PP?

Sorry not K10 as I can't cope with big bodies, the K7 scores with that is is smaller than the K20.
You've confused me, but that's easily done.

The K10D and K20D bodies are identical in size, and you have a K20D already.

Lovely images of old and new aircraft Mike.

Did you use any lenses other than the 50-500mm?

I use Manfrotto QR plates and this locating pin often does not line up with the hole on the tripod collar. I have removed the locating pin (they screw in) on all of my QR plates for that reason.

If you Google for "insect egg identification" there seems to be a number of fora specialising in just that.

Are the black dots holes?

I can't, and it looks like they may have emerged already. Are the black dots holes? If so, they've gone already.

If they are not holes, you could steal one and put it into a jar and wait for it to emerge to ID it.

Out of interest, many insects lay their eggs on food sources for the emerging young. What plant is the leaf from?

#2 for me. I can't tell you why though.

I recently sold my MZ-S but I could probably loan you my MZ-6 if you get stuck. It's not for sale though.

I'll be returning to UK in late September, if you want me to bring it back with me, let me know.

If you need one sooner than that, my Canon using son also has an MZ-6 that I'm sure you could borrow, he might even sell it.

"Lovely bright colours", "nice pictures", "great shot", praise indeed for rather mediocre images. I couldn't agree less.

I'm not trying to be cruel here Darlene, just honest.

These images look like snapshots taken on a dull cloudy day with no additional lighting to give the scene a much needed lift.

Sorry Darlene, not your best effort in my opinion.

Frankly, I think some users are far to quick to praise anything and everything that users display here.
