Well you have had loads of valid comments but to be honest if my man had given it to me just as it is I would not be looking to see if the shot was as perfect as it could be because I would be too busy wiping away the tears of pleasure, love and delight.

Don't think so Barrie, as long as you have owned one or intend to in the future I am sure you would be welcome. And don't tell anyone but I do own a camera of a different make but I don't talk about it and TBH it is not used much either but there are times it is the only answer.

I get those tiny little flies that get into picture frames inside my monitor and when I first came across 'the ant' I thought that something bigger had got in and was about to search for a bug proof monitor when I realised it was restricting its movement to a small square.

Sorry you had to sell your gear if you would rather have kept it but when the time is right you will have the joy of replacing it all, good luck and be back soon.

I take it you then had to lean the monopod against a wall where someone could fall over it. Whatever happened to common sense?

Don't understand that a photographer would not use a tripod, it's not about horizens you can use a tripod and still need that handy Lightroom tool - it is just that no normal person can hold a camera still for more than approx 1/125 sec. so if you need a shot that takes 2 sec then a tripod or a tripod replacement is required.

Excuse me if I do not comment on the image but thank you for taking it. How can anyone produce such a work of art knowing it will melt away within a short while – when we take a shot be it good, bad or indifferent we have a choice of keeping or discarding to put in so much effort for such a fleeting moment to me is beyond my understanding.

Bear in mind that there is one more important factor (two really - focal length as well) when estimating how wide DOF will be - distance from the subject, based on the first example, with 45cm from the object even changing to f/22 will not help much using 105mm lens (means DOF still will be too shallow to have whole flower in focus).
You may check it by using some DOF calculators available around, some example one here:

Admit I did not use a chart but with the object only a little over a cm I thought that f5 at .5 mtr would be fine - goes to show what little use thought is, better as you say to use a chart, will try to find one, thanks.Bear in mind that there is one more important factor (two really - focal length as well) when estimating how wide DOF will be - distance from the subject, based on the first example, with 45cm from the object even changing to f/22 will not help much using 105mm lens (means DOF still will be too shallow to have whole flower in focus).

What sort of post processing programme do you use? If we know someone can give you a blow by blow help to remove the green background.Dont know how to reduce the green without taking it from the lizard really :-s

Yes, for me the rotated image does work better.
