Awesome close up Linda, the detail is exceptional. #1397342Chris Budny July 31, 2011
Another beauty! Would love to hear any info on how you capture these... I've had limited success this close up! #9571035Danny B. Head July 31, 2011
Awesome details ...love the shadow! What lens are you using? I got out late yesterday and shot dragonflies. I had to use a 105mm F 2.8 Macro.... was getting close, but not that close. #9571084Joy Rector July 31, 2011
fantastic shot #9571089Karen Bacon July 31, 2011
A fantastic close-up Linda! #9571090Michelle Alton July 31, 2011
Takes patience doesn't it? My experience is that they keep coming back to the same spot, every time they are spooked by me. At last they decide that I'm not a threat and take a rest.Rare, though, to capture one with a shadow. Wonderful, Linda. #9571112

I don't have any patience whatsoever. At this age it's unlikely that I'll develop any, so if the bug is mobile, I'm probably going to leave it alone. You guys do them so good I can always look at yours. #9571120Jack Gaskin July 31, 2011
Really like the presentation on this macro , lots of detail but from new perspective& the shadow is a great pick-upHappy Shooting
