Still sorting out my shots from 2006! Here's some I didn't use at the time. Bit concerned I'm not getting any better.

Wow, these are some stunning shots Brian! :clap The dragonfly and bubble blowing fly shots, especially. IT can't be easy to get better than these...

Back then Brian were you stacking your shots? :D
I still sit here in awe of your work :nod
You just continue to amaze me.
Your shots from your archives are just as stunning as your new shots :thumb
.... Skippy :D

Thanks for the comments all :) much appreciated

Skippy - think I must have just started focus stacking as some of these shots had bad focus stacks with them. I've got a lot cleverer at focus stacking since then and managed to restack the originals (some by hand).

Have to admit I'm not sure I could do better than many of these shots now !
