Some cracking shots there but also some that aren't as good.  :tup:

I thought they were all pretty splendid, except for the last one which seemed a bit lame to me.

What, that little thing? Not as scary as trees full of spiders.

Wait a minute, yep, really scary - it's huge. And it looks like it might have previously been involved in a few arguments.

Interesting set. Like No. 18, the grandad.

But why do people have this compulsion to list what equipment they used and how it was set up? We occasionally have talks at the camera club where some boring fart will conclude each picture with, " This picture was taken on a Nicanon, with a 100/3000 zoom lens set at F5.6 at 250th of a second at 400 ISO". Who gives a toss, then he/she wonders why the audience seems to have shrunk considerably when he/she resumes after the tea break! :uglystupid2:
