Thanks Jose, that is what caught my eye along with the yellow color along the sawtooth ridges. Take care, Mike.

Thanks Ayan! I had to do some cropping as the Merrill only gives you about a 1:3 macro ratio. Be well, Mike.

Hi Clay, that thing was huge! I'm guessing around two inches in length. I've seen a few even a bit bigger. Not too many things creep me out, but when one of these buzzes you and it's eyeing you for some blood I get a bit nervous. I could actually here the wings moving on one of these as it flew by me today, it was that loud. Take care, Mike.

Your're very welcome Jose. I've heard both positive things and negative on the Quattro as is pertains to the Merrill's. You'll always have someone saying the other version is better or worse. If you can snag a Merrill really cheap go for it, you won't be unhappy. You can always resell it and easily get your money back if it isn't for you. I tried the 28mm version and did not like it at all. I love the 75 mm version though, it's a keeper! Keep me posted, Mike.

Hi Jose, first of all thanks for the comment. I always appreciate the fact that you even look at my photos, let alone give me such kind words. As for the Merrill the colors are absolutely amazing right out of the camera. They are extremely sharp out of the camera too. I added light sharpening on this photo, I am only using the Sigma software now because my Adobe Elements crashed. One thing you unfortunately have to do is turn your TIFF files into JPEG's to post on these sites (defeats the purpose). The TIFF files are so much nicer than the JPEG files. Luckily you can send TIFF's off to a printer so you could retain all that detail and color.

Thanks again Kelly! I tried to use some nice soft light to show some detail and soften the dried look a little but not too much. Take care, Mike.

Thanks Kelly! Yes, there have been many leaf shots. I think I'm burned out on them now. It was fun while it lasted. I appreciate the kind words and thank you for looking too. Be well, Mike.

Hello Jose, good to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words! I think your idea is a great one. Right now I do not have any editing software other than than poor Sigma one. My adobe elements crashed for some weird reason. I would normally be able to do some cloning to remove small and annoying imperfections and also do some burning and darkening of the background as well. I should have a new version soon and will try the conversion. All the best to you, Mike.

Thanks Nigel! That has to be the best and most in depth comment/analysis on any of my photos, ever! That is really insightful, now you have my head spinning and seeing things I didn't before. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my photos and for leaving the comments Nigel. Best wishes, Mike C.

Thanks Jose, I do appreciate that. Maybe they will keep choosing different/non typical types of work, that would be good for the rest of us. Take care and you have a great weekend, Mike.

Thanks Jose, I appreciate all of your support and comments. Believe or not this is the third image ) that they've picked of mine in the past two months. The one before the Rust and Shadows was the "Mud Trails/Trees" image. I'm kind of shocked because they have all been abstracts and they're not known for picking them.

Thanks Jose, this is another old one I never got around to posting. We have very little in the way of architecture where I live, it's quite rural. Thanks, Mike.
