I meant could Chris have chosen a different angle to shoot the snail from so the twig was no longer coming towards us. At the macro scale shown I believe using a smaller aperture at the time of capture would have ruined the shot and still not succeeded in sharpening the twig enough. All the bokeh would have gone too. _______________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime, only £13.99 per month with one month's FREE trial!
