Having spent a long time trying to get these sorts of shot I know how difficult it is so very well done, and very well focused,they really are a challenge....

SUperb, must be hard to get them in focus, i would be tempted to clone out the greenish blob! Very nice

Manual focus :eek:
Surely you have cloned out the pin. :wink:
That little bit of sunlight would have made it even better, but impressive shot nevertheless.

Quite extraordinary Ian. Never the easiest subject even when static. You have captured this beautifully. Interesting to see how the wings work in relation to each other.
