Thanks Charles and they do look like that don't they? However those are shots of the condensation build up in one of the Hummingbird feeders in my backyard and then cropped. Two of those on my page have the originals and then the 2nd ones I played with the colors/saturation settings on them. I like what I got, but they are not as crisp as I would like. I need to go back and step down a few notches and try a longer exposure and see if I can crisp them up a bit. If I can get what I'm looking for, then they could be blown up for nice size wall hangings / abstract art. At least that is my goal. Thanks again Charles Nice to be seen again David.....photobod wrote: Nice to see you again Don, I like the first two, dont like no 3 at all sorry, and no 4 is ok.
My personal feelings on them are in order of my preference is #2, #1, #4 and then #3. #3 was just an odd find and I was trying to get a good shot of it and that was the best one of the bunch, the rest of them turned out really bad. I was using a hand held pocket LED flash light for light and just couldn't seem to come up with that killer shot, at least not yet, but I may try again as I stilll have the potato and I think the creature still lives.....
Thank again for your input David.
