    Hi David,


    Your images of insects are truly exquisite. I especially adore the golden tones in this one.

    wow!
    so sharp!
    Is it a single shot or a stacking? In the first case what aperture?
    thanks

    You mean there was more?

    Anywhoooo....the colours of the eyes are excellent and the sharpness beyond nitting. Did you use a flash on these two before you told them to ."..break it up!" ? If there are not in this position, how can one recognize which one is the male and which one is the female? So many questions, I know...but I am curiously confused...they look almost the same size and looks...
