"If I stay still she won't see me!!!" Thought the rabbit

Unfortunately, I have no words of wisdom on how to remove the blue tinge but others seem to have some good suggestions (that I will need to remember). I really like this capture and the white on white subject. It looks like you had a good day shooting.

It is a great capture of the bird. Perhaps boosting the whites a bit might bring the bird out more and whiten the sky to add more contrast. I really do like the foliage in this image.

You did very well to get this shot with your 105mm macro! I know what it's like to have birds appear and to have the wrong lens. I had my 50mm prime on me instead of my 70-200mm when this bird came by:

The colours are wonderful and I like the shallow depth of field (achieved at f/10 – I wonder how it would look at f/2.8?). I really need to get a macro lens.

Now this is really beautiful, especially in the full size version. I have tried this a few times myself but have never produced anything as lovely as this.

Wonderful details here and a good depth of field. The b&w conversion is great.

Lovely capture. I do like the Ringtails and we don̢۪t get them much around our place (though we do get many other types of possums). Thanks for sharing.

I̢۪m also a fan of this version. Nice capture. Perhaps adding some grain and a bit of brown tinge (tricolour) may make it appear even more historic.

What I wanted to say is that this is such a wonderful image and I wanted to know if she (Helen hehe) was in some sort of tank? Congrats on the TT finish. She was in a pool so I was wet for this one. Using a housing for my canon G11.

Thanks for this info. I've been too scared to use a housing for the usual reasons. I know I will do something wrong and end up with an expensive door stop. However, to get shots anywhere near as good as this maybe worth the risk and expense.

Hehe, if I was with you when you were taking this shot I would have been tempted to shake the branch.

The blue background contrasts nicely with the leave. Nice find.
