Garden Visitors, Part 2

Really nice set Dave, I love the first image it is really sharp and great dof,
Had a camera club competition last night with nature and wildlife theme,
the judge was excellent and gave everyone a very in depth critique of their
images. I was amazed at the amount of no go areas in this genre! Purely
at competition level but it was a mine field! Lol!John17 wrote:
What do you mean by ‘no go areas in this genre’ Jenny?
So many “rules” in competitions in this genre like no images of birds on or near their nests, a license is needed to photograph any bird on its nest, that is from a Sparrow to a Golden Eagle. Making sure focus is spot on on macro images with sufficient depth of field to include the whole bug. No man made influences in the frame, so a Robin sitting on a fence would not be considered, making sure if you are taking images of insects that they are in the right environment, for instance I had an image of a caterpillar on a flower stem, and he knew that that particular caterpillar would not eat the flower, so it was considered “out of its habitat” and that I had placed the caterpillar there, which I had because the flower colour was nice…lol.
All of these “rules” are purely in the competition arena.
If that’s the case I didn’t do too bad, I was waiting for a bashing there. I was afraid to ask Johns question. :D
Dave.
