Thank you kindly man, really appreciate it!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Unfortunately there is always an issue between nature shots and artistic shots.
My shots are all nature shots which doesn't involve any torturing, freezing and killing of subjects. However,  this means that my shots will never be able to compete with artistic shots taken by irresponsible macrographers who take pride in killing so long as their photographs are on the top of the charts. These photographers can shoot at higher magnifications and more details since a dead subject doesn't move at all.

Still, the saddest thing is that the public (even competition judges) who are oblivious to how such photos are taken, will always opt for the artistic shots, thus indirectly promoting killing of subjects for better shots  cry.gif
The number of such shots are rising, even in NG galleries, which is quite sad  cry.gif

PS: It is really fortunate that the top photographers in our region, namely Kurt Orion (Malaysia) and Nicky Bay (Singapore) are nature shooters as well, and they promote a professional and sustainable style of macrography  thumbup.gif  Do look up their work for those who are interested, they are the real professionals. My work is peanuts compared to them!

Im no expert, but I think your pics are magazine cover-worthy. They're artistic enough as it is. You seem to have a knack for great composition.

Looking forward to seeing your pics on a Nat Geo cover someday. biggrin.gif
