lol, I guess there's a ladder hiding somewhere ...
H looks rather pleased with herself.

Not as functional as they could be?

Yeah, a little bit stressed but still a nice pic.

This one for the more even illumination. The oof rendering is superb.

Good call choosing this one; still plenty of tasty blur but the main subject has a greater presence.

I like this a lot too - like a big green spider, but I'd like a slightly greater dof. Lovely blur though.

Appreciate having the three images to compare, and this time I'm liking the f8 version most. The light/shade/colours/angles are great - f8 plays them more strongly imho.

It doesn't look overcooked at all. If feels as if the branches are reaching out to the camera.

Welcome back to the DIC Todd. Love the textures on this one, and as mentioned, the shadows.

Very nice light and shadow
