    Very nice, David. The reflections are an especially nice enhancement. They drop out of focus per the discussion in Christina's thread yesterday (in the context of landscapes, but, still...). I wonder if there's some way to bring them up a bit more in PP?

    David, he's a very cute little guy and no doubt a bit confused by his double reflection. Well captured detail, highlights in his eyes and DoF.

    Nice catch. Perhaps a bit of contrast?

    Very nice David I just wonder what the other black dots sitting near the eyes on the head are? I think there are four of them.

    Do you mean the 'spare eyes' Binnur?

    Should be eight in total.

    Not sure about the 'make' of this specimen. Possibly resembles Eris nidicolens but that is a distinctly southern species which doesn't occur in the UK so I don't have any personal knowledge of them.

    Thanks Claudio,appreciated bud,i liked the colours on your Jumper images, but i suppose you need to catch them on a flower for that. They are so fast its great to catch them anywhere really!

    Cheers David

    Very nice focus. I can see the double reflection, I got something similar with a snail once - nice effect.
