Nice to see you all again,

Took this the other day at the local photo spot. I tried hard to get the gradient on the background but wonder now if the lighter spots are a little too much.

Fuji, 180 macro, iso 200, 1/45, f11, tripod, early afternoon. Arabian Gulf.

Thanks gents for hosting the photo.

Regards,

Lee.

When Lee enters the room it lights up with macro like this.

How are you Lee, been awhile. Some shot to start out with, BEAUTIFUL !!!. I too love the tones in this and the subjects are just gorgeous Lee. Even the frame suits this wonderful work. Smooth, clean and elegant IMO. You can hang this one up here any day.

All the best Lee, just great to see you here and of course, more please

Danny.

Thanks gents...and Carol.

Nice words Danny, many thanks. I've been good, just busy with work.

Edwin, I tried it once but kept falling off the stick.

Wonderful shot Lee, lovely colour and I think you should have no concern about the BG - just great.

Perfect. The detail is excellent - I'd like to look up these butterflies, but if they are really from the gulf, there's no point! They look like Blues.

This is beatiful. I like the lighting and tones. I would love to see a large print.
