Great set John, love the hover and the clematis shots best. :thumbs:

Great shots! I really like number 7. the colours are fantastic!

Marvelouse set :) great variety detail and colour. I like that capture of the hoverfly in flight in 4, was that a happy accident, or pure skill? :thumbs:

Thanks Alby and Ben

I like 3 and 8. I know very little about macro but going to venture into it more and maybe get a macro lens eventually, but can tell you I like this set:thumbs:

[Janice]

some very nice shots there John... love no.3

[hillwalkinggirl]

Fantastic set of photos John. The hoverfly is fantastic.

Those first 2 flies are not what I'd call aesthetically pleasing, but you can't knock the quality of the shots! For me, No. 4 is favourite, but the detail and sharpness of all of them is super :thumbs:

Hi darkstar

The hairy flies are my favourites - great quality and makes me wonder what else flies eat - and what the hairs are for.

[Geordi69]

Nice. No 8 is very unusual.

[Baz777]

Just stunning John, stunning! :thumbs:

[Dark Star]

Thanks for the positive comments folks, it really is appreciated :)

Its another sunny day out in the jungle again :) I might see what I can find lurking about!
