Re: waterfalls and butterflys

The forst of the butterfly shots is a cracker. The shallow DOF and flowers make it.

Waterfall location looks great.

Re: waterfalls and butterflys

To my eye the first 'falls' shot is beautiful. The lighting captured on the foreground and specifically the mid-ground rocks makes the shot for me. Excellent work.

Re: waterfalls and butterflys

Both watershot falls are great. The first butterfly shot is too,
Of the second Im less sure
Arent you able to embed your images ..?
Ie dont you have flickr or the like?
It would seem that web compression might be showing them a bit less nicer than you have them

Re: waterfalls and butterflys

I like them all, and it must be just me but I think the second butterfly shot is particularly good

Re: waterfalls and butterflys

On second looks the second butterfly is OK but the first is better (IMHO) and ther is the inevitable comparison

Re: waterfalls and butterflys

Thanks for all of the comments folks. I never got into the whole flickr thing but sould really give it a try! The originals are better but the compressed ones at least give you pretty good idea.
