Another beautiful composition, Sandy, with excellent dof. My only nit is the white spot on the eye and I'm not sure how that could be avoided.

Looks like one of the Pennants, Sandy. A fine perch against a clear blue sky. Getting the red stigma showing so nicely is a fine extra.

Nice one Sandy...the larger version gives out more detail. As Mark said, this stands out against the blur sky,

Hi Sandy,
I like the composition blue background and the Halloween pennant shows up well. More DOF is needed and details like hairs are not crisp. These insects tend to perch in breezy spots so my guess is that some motion blur may explain the loss in detail resolution.......................Jim
