Superb detail. color, light. Do you have the tips of the tail in the original frame?

Whoa! What a beauty! I wish the ends of his tail were included in the frame, but I wouldn't change anything else, here. The Mayfly stands out so nicely against the monochromatic background, and the soft focus behind is very nice. Excellent detail.

I like the pose, it looks like the Mayfly is just holding on, but like Roger and Varina I would have liked to see the ends of the tail.

Hi everyone. I do appreciate all the awesome comments. I do wish I had the tips of the tails but I don't. Still learning and sometimes I get ecited and forget to get the little things in the frame. I do have others tip to nose and will post one of them and see what you all think.

thanks again

Lynn
