Silver Xenica

[John Cooper]

Captured in alpine region very early morning.
I exchanged my 100 and 180 macro lens on this occasion for my 100-300 zoom.

EOS 5, Canon 100-300 F5.6L plus Nikon 5T dioptre (although there was a multitude of reeds in the BG this lens combination softened the BG to such an extent that it now appears artificial)!!
Natural light, ISO 50, 2 secs F22, Tripod.

I'm a fan of your work, John, no exception here, neat as can be, clean and well composed.

[Gus Cobos]

Excellent John; as always.

I like the diagonal leaf and the color combination of your subject...:cool:

[Julie Kenward]

Lovely image. You did a wonderful job of not overlighing those dew drops and that's really not that easy! Everything is clean and very nicely composed.

[D. Robert Franz]

This is excellent John. Lovely details. Good to see the ancient L lens getting the workouit it deserves. :)
