A cooperative Snipefly

[rudi]

Found a very cooperative Snipefly (Rhagio sp.), and managed to take a few shots.
Both are stacks to increase the DOF.

C&C welcomed.

Like the light and detail Rudi, well done.

Rudi, the second one looks alienese...I like that character...

[John 2]

Two crackers Rudi. I am in awe of the fact that you managed to stack them. Nice BGs as well.

Thanks Jim, Izzie and John for your kind comments.

@John: Whenever I come across a cooperative model (does not happen that often...), I try to get as close as possible and shoot with stacking in my mind, though succesrate is very low, every now and then I get Lucky .

Nice set.

Very nice images Rudi

[Geoff F]

Good clear images, Rudi, but the colour seems too yellow in the first image. The second one is more typical for Rhagio colour.

Thanks John, Binnur and Geoff for your kind comments.

@Geoff: abt 'too yellow' (thanks for pointing that out): Though my settings were the same as with image nr2 ,these particular images (nr1) came way too yellow out off camera. I tried to correct that in post, I will give it another try later on.
