H Jeni - wow you do get great birds in your garden.

Nice pose and HA --Nice action and HA on the cricket as well! Looks a tad dark on my screen - could just be my screen. I might just add a little bit of blur to the BG maybe. Could lighten the Iris a tad as well.

Nice one

[Jeni Williams]

Thanks Lance, tried as you suggested. Bear in mind it was very overcast and I have upped the exp. in ACR.:)
Darn - think I blurred the cricket too!!! - aaah well, back to drawing board!!

Very, very nice, Jeni. I like the second version except, as you noted, with the cricket sharpened.

Hi Jeni,
I am on Denise with this one. Somewhere between the first and second post for me too. You are making good use of your Mk II and extender combo !
