Good snaps Rhitwick.

I liked cat & the second one from the butterfly set.

Ritwik: Nice shots.Cricket shot, Zhinga Machli, Fire shot and all the butterfiles come excellent. For Fire shot: I think may be low shutter speed is the culprit or fire tends to have flares in patches of very few seconds and the the shutter lag might have result in that shot. Only IMO.

Cool: There would be some selection toos like lasso, quick selection or pen tool. Name may be different but I think these will work. Or you can google the selection tools for Gimp app.
1. Use any selection tool you find easy. My favorite is quick selection tool.
2. Select the object.
3. If Gimp allows a Masking then create a mask layer or you can cutt the selection and paste it on next layer. In P.S creating a adjustment layer does all for you.
4. now place a new background below the cut portion.

I don't use Gimp but Most softs try to follow the standard format set by an Oldie.

rhitwick excellent work. You have improved by leaps and bounds. As I told you, you improve more and more as you shoot more in Manual Mode.

He can;t even let him live peacefully!

Krow: beautiful image. But you can crop some surrounding to go close to the crab. Can you crop the image and then sharpen and then post again. I would like to see the crab more closely.

 

[Krow]

toofan Please provide all details about your image. Where, when, what, why, etc. Its a cool picture of a mosquito. I say cool because mosquitoes and green usually are not seen together. That must be a male mosquito as the females suck on our blood (as in you humans and not us Krows ).

I'll do what I can about the crab.

Believe it or not, the green thing is water covered in algae.

 

[Cool G5]

@krow - I thought so its water.

@toofan - Nice image. I feel the ant is over-sharpened.

Krishna's Best Friend-IInd No.

Krishna's Best Friend-No 1.

This shot I took in the morning when the first ray of sun peeps through my Meshed Door. Taken in Vivid Mode.

These are Krishna's Best Friends.

At that time the colors were in there extreme. And slowly fades away. I took the Krishna's Best Friend-No 1 first and the second shot was taken after 15 to 30 min later.
Loves the Krishna's Best Friend-No 1 Most because of its Extreme colors.​

Trying macro. Panning isn't coming out properly only. I have Sony Cybershot DSC W-200. How do I do bokeh technique? Any more techniques?

 

[Cool G5]

I like the cigarette & the dog nose macro.

For Panning, Read this.

For Bokeh, Read this.
