Love the colours - and the wee drops falling from its feet

Are you still using IE Stefan ?

I've no problem with it

Second linky - him no work

However with the first - whether or not that's an abstract depends on your definition of abstract . Yes it is an abstract from presumable a larger picture , or it was deliberately shot to include only part of the bird .

My definition of abstract in art/photgraphy terms has always been something which is not completely true to life - like a picture composed of apparently higgeldy piggeldy non-related blocks of colour [ I suspect Tracy Emin's bed doesn't fit into this category ]

Welcome to our happy home

If it's any consolation - that's my Tutor's definition of abstract and he drives me nuts as I try to get what he wants - and rarely manage it because of my lack of ability.

Personally I like the first one , and I very much appreciate the use of colour in Serenity .

Good grief

Sunny Spain - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

AHA - so in fact that's what I've been trying to do without realising it - it just seemed logical that if it wasn't happy at a particular f stop then change it till it was happy

Andrew - I'm using my 18-55 Kit lens - no option , it's that or the 50-200

At present that has to suffice - no money for expensive lenses at present .

Lighting has astounded me - there are 3 windows in that room - on 3 external walls.

Hmm - self timer - will need to read up on that
