Cracking photo there Jeff - yes, that one. How did you get that? On second thoughts, don't tell me, write an article and tell us all.

You mean this one, Geoff -

Well, it is in fact this one -

With a bit of Photoshop jiggery-pokery.

Hard to write an article. The ideas came from a magazine article and DVD piece so all I was doing was to some extent copying it. They even provided the magnifying glass image and after that it's all layers, spherizing, blurring and sharpening.

Oohhhh! You didn't think Andy held up a magnifying glass to the pike's mouth did you?
