I think this is a slight improvement on my first one....

Comments welcome folks.....:D

PS is that fly poo behind it I wonder? If so what eats that? Microflies?

Thats more like it :)

Now take one when it is awake :lol:

[Dark Star]

Har har!

Awsome, so much more interesting, great colour :thumbs: I would have cloned out the bit behind the fly though, it looks like it's had a poo :lol:

Not bad at all!

[Dark Star]

Thanks guys - first steps!!!! I've a long way to go before I master the craft!

Very nice :D - Dont crop the poo out, it adds interest imo :lol:

That 100mm Macro is looking mighty tempting ;)

[Dark Star]

Thanks Rick - from what limited playing I have had so far its seems a great lens - but finding decent insects is damned tricky!

Love the irony of fly poo, what indeed eats that? Anyone... It's an unreeal looking shot, superb colours. For such a filthy animal they've got a bloody cool paint job!

[Richard]

Very nice John. Nice colours and you've got the focus spot on (always aim for the eyes!). I didn't notice the fly poo, must be my age :)

[Dark Star]

Thanks guys - if it'd stop raining I'd get out and try some more!!!

Nice one John, good to see someone else getting into this macro lark. Looks like a good lens you've got there.

Thanks Hacker - it certainly feels good to use, nice and weighty!! But I'm finding the dof a challenge - practice makes perfect though (I hope!)
