This is where the aforementioned scissors would have come into play. A side-step to the left and there were more of the little ... wotsits. As it is I have cropped a bit off the left side of the image. Note to self... always pack secateurs. I already feel like a pack-animal when I go out photo-snapping! womble wrote:
Thanks Gary. I was going for tree being an echo or shadow of the cow parsley, but I don't think I got the composition quite right.
Whatever the foreground plant is, I agree, it infringes into the tree and a side step to the left would have fixed this but hey ho, hindsight is a wonderful thing! Thanks Gary. I was going for tree being an echo or shadow of the cow parsley, but I don't think I got the composition quite right.

Womble, I have to adopt a strict one in - one out policy for books because I can barely move in my work room as it is.
Getting rid of books is about as foreign to me as getting rid of lenses... Many of them (most of them?) are work books. Given I cannot access the University library at the moment, I'm reaping the benefits of having my own. Most frustrating is that about 1/3 of it is in my office at work...Womble, I have to adopt a strict one in - one out policy for books because I can barely move in my work room as it is.

It has the worst average score for FA zooms on the US fora (6/10) although one or two people thought it wasn't all that bad. As always, age and variation in copies come in to play, but it doesn't seem very good unless you can get one to try for peanuts.pschlute wrote:

Very few of the FA zooms -- apart from the * lenses -- get anything like a decent score.

Very nice indeed. As my wife will attest, I have a superb library of photos with the blurred image of the rear end of an animal leaving the frame. I'm very jealous!
