That's an exceptional group of top class images Steve.

Becoming become quite a master of the craft, in a relatively short time.

They look like S@ N canditates to me.

I love globs and clusters and your images do them justice. Nice work.

Thanks guys, was a most productive night on Friday (unlike Saturday, which turned up some blurry shots of something fuzzy). Just going over the full size RAWs again to tart them up a bit. Anything specific I would need to do to these if I wanted to submit them to S@N or PA?

(Cant find info about how/where to submit to S@N on their website, and the PA website is belly up right now)
