Thanks for the input…will try.

think a lot of the problems with it come from my plant section being that little bit too thick so make it even harder to get clear defination of the plant cell layers….so much try harder with the blade to get thin sections! Not as easy as sounds! :cry:

love the first one….great shot and fits well with the title!!

as already said 2nd one although good not quite to the high standards of the first!

but also thinking of the secone one (in the rugby theme etc etc) seems to be more remisant of ‘stamping’ :D

thanks again for all the messages and encouragment..

as always all comments on pictures will be welcome, here to learn,
the pictures with loads of views and no comments can be confusing! not sure then if people like or dislike them :D

Hopefully will get around to posting more ASAP

Hi Noel,
sorry can’t offer too much as in detailed idea’s
but do you require the white background? as Bridal appreciate you probably do..

just wondering if you have to use white would a more silken cloth be better?

Maybe way off point and make it worse but just an idea

This in fact sound odd But thanks John and Ross!!! I am a beginner and appreciate the comments! I have posted a few other pictures but was unsure as to their qualities..mainly due to lack of comment on so was probably pushing the boat out with this one, to be honest.

Also i would probably be approaching it more from the botanical side of things and this probably doesn’t help from the photographic point, with just over emphesis on ‘a nice plant’ etc rather than taking a mole holistic background approach.

Thanks again and hopefully can put the advice to good use!!! I WILL TRY! but hopefully will be able to improve

love the sharpness of the head in the first one! you nearly had the full profile set! the 3rd one shows just how close things can be, as is an impressive bird on take off

Thanks!
i had to crop a good bit of Blue sky background. Was just a lucky shot, right place right time!

I also really like it, and while agreeing with the idea to crop from the top, also maybe the idea of even a splice into two seperate pictures that would both stand very well on their own. got the idea from my computer when scrolling down trhrough and the upperhalf about the swan on it’s own makes a clear sunset shot with the reflection also caught on the water. :) making 3 great pics from one!
