Red-hot Red

Very nice Jim,

My only suggestion would be that, if mine, I'd probably take 10% height off the lower edge (there's nothing of interest down there), although I guess that would make it almost vertically central in the frame, which is perhaps what you were trying to avoid.

Still a great capture, Dave

Really nice shot Jim. I like the red and how he's holding onto the top of the branch. Your depth of field looks really good, camera setting?

Nicely captured.

Thanks Dave for the feedback. You are right about my concerns about being vertically central in the frame, but I will give it a go because I think you are correct.

Thanks John. Dave A the settings where ISO 80-1/125 s-3.8 aperture. I use P&S cameras.

Beautiful image Jim May I ask your focal length?

[Tom Barry]

Exceptional detail and DOF - these small sensor cameras are excellent for closeup photography, to be sure.

[Ziggy]

Thanks Tom for taking a look.

A nice red one...! I rather like to see those frontal eyes more...

Thanks Izzie. Most of the dragons I post are over water so you have to take what you get.

Nice shot, Jim. I wasn't aware they came in different colours.

Nice shot, Jim. I wasn't aware they came in different colours.

Thanks Greg. They come in all colors and sizes. This one is about 1 1/2 inches long.

The trick is finding them.
