Here is another Grey Drake shot and with all the tails showing. I liked the posture of this with the leaves cupped. Hope you all enjoy.

D300
180mm macro lense
Tripod

Had to raise the ISO to get a decent shutter speed as it was blowing pretty good.

Comments are welcomed as I want to learn all I can

This is a gorgeous bug! The intensity of the colors and the leaves in the background are distracting - but the details are just beautiful! The head and eyes seem to be in perfect focus - and the fading focus on the wings is really appealing. Beautifully done, Lynn!

Thanks Varina, not sure I could change the background. Looking at the colors I could turn down the saturation a touch. Not sure what to do with the background though. Any ideas?
