I too think it is beautiful as it is. Blurring of background may be suitable for Macro photography - but this tree stands out very well against the green background trees - nice contrast! Tis only a thought. I am not a connoiseur!

My goodness, he has a lot of hair!
Did you shoot it? Good shot.

Vee, I am tempted to be economical with the truth and say YES, but NO, i didn't - my daugher took the shot! Haven't seen the Baby yet - intend travelling down to London on Monday to see the baby! Yeah, I too am surprised as to how much of hair he has for a 8 day old baby!

I love your photograph! all of them so far that I've seen! I wanted to share this photograph with you even though it's nothing to do with the conversation, I shot this with a Digital point and shoot FujiFilm S1800, it's a fairly nice point and shoot and from my understanding it's just a couple of steps down from a lower end DSLR. It does have many great functions outside of auto and I love to use it. Anyway I'd love to hear some comments and critics on it. Thanks!

This picture is 'Absolutely Fabulous'! I wouldn't have believed that it was shot with a 'Point and Shoot'! The background is well blurred and the plants/flowers and the Insect are extremely prominent and just pop out! I wish I could get a similar shot with my dSLR! Actually, I too started with a 'Point and Shoot' and have now 'graduated' to a Nikon D40 - lower end of the spectrum of DSLR's!

Thanks! I am using a FujiFilm S1800, I didn't have my DSLR with me at the time because it was supposed to storm and we was bbq'n. I just took my chances and got a wow when I got home to view it. I own a canon T3i and really love it, but then again I like my point and shoot very well also...

And the little girl in the profile looks absolutely gorgeous too!

Thanks Vee, I hope Terry didn't think I was trying to sound scolding, I just thought he needed to read the entire thread, and understand where everyone was coming from. If someone is being nasty and downgrading someone's creativity, I am sure the moderators/administrators would have no problem putting a halt to it... LOL

I was hoping I didn't sound like I was being too blunt. My personality is such where I can be too plain of speech sometimes.

:-P :P :P

I have a Canon T2i and Canon xsi. I also have my point and shoot Kodak Easy Share, They are all in my camera case. There are times when I will see something, and not have the time to set up my gear, so, I grab my point and shoot, and get it.
