Garry,

You just love to make that digital camera do the really tough exposures, don't you? :> You've about sold me on them and now when someone asks about digital cameras I tell 'em get a CP900 and point them to stuff you've posted.

Oh wait, this is an image critique (laughing ;>).

Um...how to say it? I genrally like nekkid trees and line/form, etc, but this one doesn't do anything for me. Not sure why. You do good work otherwise though.

Cheers,

Keith

Thanks, Keith. About the camera, the new CP950 is now out in Japan and is soon to be available here. It features shutter priority, aperture priority and manual controls plus several additional enhancements. That would be my current reccomendation.

With regard to the image, I've subsequently tried cropping in from the left and the bottom such that the heavy diagonal branch is removed and the "jewel" is closer to the bottom of the frame. Not sure, but I think it works a bit better.

The image originally posted has now been replaced by the version cropped as described above.
