Thanks for the comments, must admit my favourite is the dog .. I thought it just looked a bit quirky.

It is a bit quirky and all the better for it! K.

Well shot sir.

My favourite? The Fly.

All those webs and it's still chillin....

very good images Kris, very good. No. 8 is the not needed IMO as No. 9 nails it much better.

Best regards

Many thanks. No 9 was my favourite too, probably of the whole set. K.

Nice set Kris! I have been out taking shots of cobwebs this morning too but not sure if they'll turn out well... I really like the webs in shots 2 and 3 here, especially the way the web is constructed with some little triangles at the junctions of the web silk. And I particularly like leaf and pondweed, think that it my favourite of the bunch! you must have had the camera perfectly perpendicular at f2 to get that all in sharp focus. Nice one!

Regards

Thank you. By the way, the lens is an f/2 lens, I think it was at about f/5.6. I was a bit worried about dropping the lot in the pond! This lens is my original from 1982. I didn't use it for years as I got a f/1.7 version and someone poured beer on it and made it sticky. Recently I decided to treat it to a CLA from Alan and now it is working wonderfully once more.

Very nice series overall. I, too, like the distant surfer but I'd be tempted to crop a bit of the sand off the bottom so that the wet sand almost goes into the bottom right hand corner. Only a minor tweak!

Best wishes, Kris.

It's not very clear whose photo it is, do please make the appropriate acknowledgement, so we are clear who the photographer is.

If you follow the logic of this thread through it is quite clear it is Pentaxophile's image. The idea is very simple and rather neat. It is just a fun way of getting images one may have put in the gallery a long while ago a second airing. I am bemused why this is all proving so difficult?

Of the paragliders 4 and 6 strike me as the good ones. I really like the dog though, it made me chuckle.

The first three are just great. The second one edges it for me. I wonder, given that it is almost monochrome anyway, whether converting it to BW would work? Just a possibility.

I am very pleased to say that the second shot was accepted to the PPG. Quite an unusual one for me to get accepted -- most are sunsets or flowers!

Best wishes, Kris.
