    Welcome back Bobo Very nice series, my best is #3 with lovely colors. I like the posture very much in #5, I would try to improve it with PP.

    Very nice series. #3 is my favorite as well. 5 & 6 look overexposed to me, but I'll bet there is plenty of room to fix them up in PP.

    Re: Been a while...

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

    I should have added that all 3 sets are capable of the #3 treatment. But I wanted to do a dark, medium, light treatment as can be seen between the 3 sets. Particularly the 3rd set in which I wanted to do it light and airy like. Set 2 would be the "normally" processed ones.

    Another reason why set 3 is processed in this way is the yellow. Too much contrast and it will blow.

    That's a nice series BoBo. If I were to pick out an image, it would be no.3 but only because the whole insect is in focus. The rest are still excellent.

    Hi Bobo,

    I like #3 for the side view and also the exquisite detail in the dragonfly. I also adore #5, and prefer this background for the light and colour. I would be inclined to crop #5 just a wee bit off of the bottom and right hand side. (eliminating the cobweb and some of the branch)

    Thanks Rita, Mike, Christina for your kind comments.

    @Christina - yes that could be done. Thanks for the suggestion.
