    It is coming up to one year since I picked up a camera and must say I enjoy this hobby, be it an expensive one, a lot. I have learned a lot off the forum. I hope to post new and improved images in a few weeks time when I return from my annual trip to the desert.

    This was taken a few weeks ago about a hours drive north of Sydney. I was following this one and managed to slip and fall - it is amazing that the thought of dropping a 500mm lens in salt water will allow you to sacrifice your body. It, the lens, got a bit of a light splash and I spent the next week seeing a physiotherapist for my back.

    7d, 500mm HH, 1/1250 @ 4, iso 500, EV +1/3.

    Thanks all Tom

    Tom, good look back pose, and I can see your thought of a horizontal here, with the pebble on the right balancing the comp. Having said that, I feel a vertical will work here too. The feather detail looks good, and those yellow legs stand out very well. I feel this needs a bit of CW rotation.

    Love the story that goes with this image!
    I like the look back pose and the ? rock ? snail really balances it out. I agree with a touch of CW rotation. I like the horizontal frame because of the rock. A lovely shot and worth every bit of back pain!!
