Nice first attempt Squiggle, what everyone told me when i first started taking macro (only few month back) was to focus on the eyes!!

thats all i do now, :)

Wow dude they're awesome. So you've taken the dive into the pandas, nice. Will have to come see them sometime. Also you'll have to come see my new place, redcliffe is awesome soo much cooler out here with the sea breezes.

Got surgery on tuesday so if I make it through the other side I'll organize a bbq or something

Thanks guys, yeah I just couldn't resist the call of the panda. Good luck with the surgery Ziek, you will be just fine. Wouldn't mind moving up that way, love the ocean breeze. I'm moving next weekend so you can come round anytime after that & a BBQ is an awesome idea :encouragement:

second attempt much better mate, i think you will learn a lot from nogi if you meet up as he can take some pretty good macro ;)

that panda still looks a little off color, hopefully in a few more days when he is settled he will get his true color.

the white on the panda is looking a little yellow, that could be the photo but if it is the shrimp then he is still a liitle stressed.

should be white like the pic in sale thread..

Yeah it might be the post editing, I'll take another few pics in a couple of days & hopefully he's whiter, he does look a little yellow in the tank, I'll keep an eye on the WP, thanks mate :encouragement:

:dejection: I killed one of my yellow yesterday and not sure if it was the second female . MURDERER:sorrow:

i thought it was the same girl her tail looked a bit odd in both pictures - just the way she is holding it. Well done but I don't like you now:crushed:
