Thanks for taking the time to comment guys :) Sadly, the skink (gecko/salmander) looked about to run away as I approached, so I snapped what I could with the lens I had, and sure enough, the little guy ran off at the sound of my shutter. I tried to crop it down but the scan is pretty bad and my cropping makes it look like a thumbnail picture :) I think it looks good on film - the red makes the little guy really pop. >There are a few dust specks or artifacts from scanning, (hard to tell which), that you should probably edit out. yes, the scanner was supremely dusty, but it was sheer luck that I was allowed to use it in quite a hurry - I will certainly try to eit those specks out though. They bother me too ;) >2 is nice, but you might consider a tighter crop to reduce the impact of the twig at top left. thanks! I didn't even notice that, I was so busy trying to catch all the flowers with dew on them. >8 is a nice scene, but is overexposed (esp. the top half). Did you use a graduated neutral-density filter? nope, I just blew it, but I like the picture enough anyways. >3 might benefit from cropping the left 40% and >reducing the brightness.

Thanks, you're right, it does look better with a good crop. >1 doesn't work for me; there is a lot of glare and no >real subject or pattern to catch my interest. Really? That was my favorite, strange how everyone likes different things. thanks for the advice and comments! rg2 On 11/11/07, P. J. Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > These are all very nice.
