  1. Nice one!! Posted 5 years ago
  2. Great job! Posted 5 years ago
    1. Thanks Ferdy - always a bit dismayed to find out that what thought I saw on the camera display doesn't quite come out as expected on the big screen *rolleyes* Posted 5 years ago
      1. I continue to say that you're way too hard on yourself. The image looks great, the light and exposure beautiful. It's a bloody 2mm subject. It's fine! Posted 5 years ago
        1. Well, thanks Ferdy - I'm really struggling at this size, but sometimes I do get shots in with nose and bum in focus too (unlike here), so I know it can be done and keep kicking myself for zooming too much ... Posted 5 years ago
