Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

Rooz,
I like the number two shot,
as for the third, my initial impression is the eyes get lost since they are white also.

Caveat: You ever had one of the photos that you initially thought iffy, but after a little time it has become one of your favorites?

Yeah, yeah we know.
Just try to catch two different coloured ones in a symmetrical pattern on the edge of your windshield whilst travelling at 100kph+ :D

I'll give you credit for them though. Not bad for an amateur.

yes, thats a good point about the eyes. not sure if it will end up a fave of mine, i'm not totally convinced on it but the different lighting does appeal to me for some obscure reason.

Love no 2 Rooz, good exposure to avoid the nuclear red look and wonderful pose and focus.

Whoa, I'm flattered that he even considered good enough to purchase! :eek:

Amazing as always! I love the second and last ones, they look great!

Seriously, I try to post my photos directly but I still can't. I type it as below, I even tried using the "insert photo" button but it's still not working, I still just get a red X. So I'm sorry about the thumbnails, I know how irritating they can be..

EDIT: I know the horizon in the second one isn't straight, noticed it after I posted it. Sorry.

Cool bug Rooz. This is one I got to pose for me so I could try out my new macro lense.
