   Fantastic shot Gordon, such clarity, I wouldn’t have thought it possible from the 45-200mm and the Raynox.

   Thanks Roy – This is full frame without cropping – the weather wasn’t great today, so I think I can do even better than this (he said optimistically!) – trouble is the closer you go – the more difficult dof becomes – and they don’t hang around when you’re “hovering” over them (pun) Gordon

   Hey have you ever been onto deviantart.com. If you go on and set up a profile then look for the tinyphotography group just ask for an invite. Its pretty much macro photograhy with some landscape stuff, your work would be perfect.
