Hi,

The first image from early morning at Wicken Fen as you can see from Robs earlier post there was a good cover of dew..

Haven't had the opportunity to ID this fly fully so decided to call it Dewey.

All the best

Phil

Phil,

This is a fantastic shot. So much detail.

Rob

Second that comment, possibly more biomass in the dew than subject matter...! Very well seen and taken as usual Phil, Hope we can catch up soon.

Brett

Hi Phil - lovely detail. Don't think I have seen so much dew in one shot. The colour and light feels a little flat, maybe could do with a little curves adjustment? Still a beauty

Yep you are right Elliott, think my monitor at home needs recalibrating... here is a quick adjustment.

Repost much better-full of detail and as sharp as a sharp thing

Dave

very nice Phil, perfectly executed as ever and the dew is very attractive. I've been trying for some time to find a dew covered insect like this but I think the basic problem I have is that I don't get up early enough

Is this maybe a Robber Fly of some kind?

Matt

Never seen so much detail in photo Phil...excellent work

Hi Phil - much better! The grass looks like frosted glass. I think its a Snipe Fly (Rhagionidae)

Repost is stunning!
Love your macro work!

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Repost is superb Phil - very nice

Stunning Phil, the dew is something special and not seen anything like it before
