I would never have thought about it had you not mentioned macro lenses:beer:. So thank you. Colin Key also has a hand in the results as he encouraged me to use the 800 x 600 image size which have considerably improved the quality:beer:.

I think this has been a great demonstration of how we can help one another to improve. What a great site and what great members:beer:.

Cheers to you all and good shooting

Peter
