Click to expand... #01 oops.....paiseh.... forgot to sharpen it. This is the image Ithat was supposed to be posted.:embrass: #02 sharp eyes you have. Unlike your setup of 02 flashes....a reflector was used to bounced some lights onto the right hand side of the dragonfly. #03 selective USM was applied to the seed pods/stigma area.

Check your colour.. head area and legs. #3 is really nice. USM again. I think a tad too much. But it's my favourite of these three.

T tltan Senior Member Apr 18, 2005 2,484 0 36 www.flickr.com Aug 31, 2006 #10 I like shot #3. Good DOF for this shot. If the whole left 1/3 was brownish, it would be even stronger I feel. But its a good shot. I like the other 2 but as tchuanye mentioned, the butt needs more DOF to cover the wings (something I personally cant do as well hahaha). Regards, tltan
