    NIce shots, I particularly like that fourth one, the eye and antennae came out clear and the composition is nice.

    Beautiful captures and colors.

    Watermarks are a pet peave of mine - very distracting.

    Lovely! Two and four, with the tongue so clearly visible, are my favorites.

    Thanks all,

    #4 is being printed tonight to hang in the study.

    These took quite a lot of shots because of the wind and the little blighters' would not sit still for their portraits. Their worse than kids
