Kurt those are cool and such great quality as usual.

I was not expecting a panoramic stitch:thinking:

At times Kurt I think I'm getting a little nearer to half decent Macro/Close Up shots, and then up you come with another "Excellent" set. So I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. That stitched shot is brilliant matey, keep up the good work.(y)

Not again that MP-E should have been in the post to me by now!

Great set mate and when a subject is still enough stitching is a great method I did it earlier in the year with a damsel.
 
Again as always Kurt, superbe shots, quality, clarity and colourful. :D

Thanks, Alf. Had to stitch. The tip of the robber fly's abdomen was cut off and I wanted a full body shot.
