Thats outstanding. Only thing is, and its a very small thing. Maybe a little crop on the left. :thumbs:

Thanks PoW ;)

I guess it was quite cold, though if you approach slowly and don't cast a shadow most insects are tolerant.

Wonderful shots Alby. How many images did you use for the stacking or are they single shots?

I think that first shot would still look every bit as impressive at 800px Alby! ;)
