Post your best current shots

I like the arrangements. Did your wife use that sabre to cut the flowers? I must admit that I found the background slightly distracting, especially in the second shot. Perhaps you could use a shallower depth of field to separate your subject, or find a plain feature to place behind the subject to isolate it from the background.

How about a little photoshop magic

Painstakingly added lens blur

Went out to collect lizards last weekend with one of my collaborators. I only took my loaner 180mm macro. I still believe the 300mm f4L IS is the "Lizard King", but the 180 macro is really nice if you can pose stuff.

I haven't looked at this thread in awhile ...very, very nice shots everyone!

I won't post this in best of the birds thread because IMO it needs alot of improving and hopefully as the season goes on, they will only get better! I was walking through my bedroom and caught a glimpse of this little guy through my window and I just had to hurry and grab the camera so no time for set-up on this one!

Looks like a painting, well done.
Nice reptiles and like the really wide harvester.

That's a great flower arrangement not to mention the light, color and saturation.

Nice, certainly an unusual picture :-)

A little fill-in flash would have been nice. Call Sean next time :-)

Cool shot Mark.....I actually like the slight silhouette. Makes the shot look very ominous. One thought for the future, but, it would be even a little better in my mind if the ends weren't clipped. But I really do like the shot. Well executed concept.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in myself for missing the framing like that. I thought I had the whole thing in the image. The farmer and the tech from the manufacturer were waiting to make a test run, so I had time for just one shot before I needed to get out of the way. Still, I was confident I had the whole thing and only saw later that I had clipped the left side.

A picture of my beloved, on a quick break to Melbourne. It's hard to take a shot of your wife that she is happy with.
