Hi Sandy,

I have been looking at this one all week. Comp looks good, but I wish the tern showed more details.................................Jim

Great pose, Sandy. It's nice to have the bugs included in the image. I read Jim's comment and I think it's just the angle that makes the details difficult to discern.

The new lens looks good.
