Marcus - An amazing capture. This considers the lens you were using and the timing. A fairly rare opportunity taken advantage of!! Level of focus nice.

Eb - I like the totally moss covered tree to the left. This looks like a good candidate for your micro!

Eb - Pretty setting and extreme "green" Its too bad Usefilm doesn't have a "Deep Green" category. Nice.

Eb - You have captured the lushness nicely. Come on---- put your winter gear on and get cracking wiith snow shots! Easy for me to say - I live in Texas.

Eb - Have you noticed that when setting ISO on 100 you get great color saturation, yet a hint of softness? For example, ISO adds grain which which provide a "sharp" looking image. Really colorful shot.

Eb - Did you use PS HDR to "combine" the images? Nice composition and sharp detail with soft water. A nice example of the use of shutter speed and aperture setting.

It must have been a relatively calm day to get this sharpness. I assume you used the mirror lock-up feature? I have found that it really increases detailing in my 200mm micro.

Eb - I love the details and vivid colors. Isn't it amazing how f16 on a macro still provides DOF similar to a larger aperture on non-macros.

Thanks Mary Jane. I just read your personal write up and noticed the comment about loving photos of your children. My daughter if the one on the far left and the back. The posting after this one is also of her.

Ray - The subject (ball carrier) is focused just right. I also like the expressions of those in the background - especially the jumping cheerleader to the left.

Eb - I like the details on this one. Boat rigging, sky, smoke, slight reflection of the smoke and hazing hills in the background. Gosh - Your photo opportunities seem limitless. Nice work.

Eb - A really unique capture. Everything seems to look in-place...except for the "sinister" lokking guy in the background. He makes the photo have an abstract feel. Only my opinion. Good job.

Michael - Yes i was using a Manfrotto monopod with a really heavy ball head. The whole rig (camera, lens and monopod) weighed about 20 pounds. I could get used to carry it around (except for the sore shoulder).
