Beautiful photos, that underwater shot is fantastic.

Thanks Andrew, Fossil. Would have been nice to have got a head-on shot but composing underwater shots is a bit tricky

one more pic

Hi Neil.

Just learn to hold your breath longer & open your eyes under water

no way - he was a big fish

Neil, very modestly, neglected to mention that he also had a shed load of fish..it really was an excellent day despite the monsoon.

I think this is a wildie but would appreciate any views:

Monsal isn't 'dry only' so fished dries, emergers and nymphs

Techie photo question - I've noticed that photobucket is altering the colour balance when I import photos (so I can post them here). For example, the colours on the last brownie above are much more vivid before import. Anyone know why?
