These little White-faced Darter chaps and chap-esses have been very good to me this year so I think it's time to move on

This is one from Sunday taken in the middle of the deluge that soaked everything except the D2Xs and surprisingly the 180mm lens.

I just like the way the rain drops stick to the eyes.

D2Xs
180mm macro
ISO100
1/2sec @ f10
PP CaptureNX ans CS3 (5 shot manual tiff stack)

Thanks for looking folks

A lovely shot Andy, great POV and the ultimate natural "contact lenses" really make this image.

I think this is your best mr. Astbury. Very nice and razor sharp. Good comp and lots of detail.

Hi Andy,

I agree with Edwin, I thin this is the best one yet. For me, the perch is a lot better in this one, much less obtrusive.

Cheers,

Dan.

The imagae begs me to ask is their vision imapaired whilst like this.
You would have thought they would shake it off straight away just as we would when we get water in our eyes.
Nice one.

Major.
