Cheers for now
Mark

Agreed. Excellent closeup in #2 Mark, #1 looks soft to me. Good to see hospital trip hasn't slowed you down ;)

Hiya Toby, Graphyfotoz, Brian, Eccles, Dave,

Many thanks for your kind words & comments,

Toby,
Yep I can see where you're comming from :D

Graphyfotoz,
Love your shots very nice.

Brian,
Thank you :D

Eccles,
Still just the one hand I'm afraid wish I coulda used the tripod :lol:

Dave,
I agree it does look soft not sure where I went wrong but I guess it won't be the last like it eh knowing my total lack of consistency :lol:

The Hospital trip was well worth the discomfort of the procedure this time thanks, a short term fix though but better than nothing :D the Consultant recons if this procedure works it could be a Yr. or more before we know :rolleyes: I've got another course of injections into the nerve in six weeks, got the appointment in this morns post :D

Cheers for now
Mark
