Hello Paul.

Thanks for your comment.

Sorry I forgot to say this is one from the files, and was taken a couple of years ago. I,m trying to sort out my files and came across this one which I have always liked and thought I would post it.

Love the colours you have captured in those wings Guy. Very nice detail and dof.

very nice Guy, I really like the way the soft light is falling on the wings. An excellent stack too - do you use stacking software for this or do you do it 'manually' in PS?

I think this is a cracking shot Guy, the different viewpoint really shows of the super wings (looks like he's been dipped in washing up liquid. :biggrin: )

Very unusual to see from underneath. The wings are just superbly recorded.

Hello Matt.

Thanks for your comment.

No stacking software used.

I like doing it my self and have found many new tricks along the way with all the problems you come across when stacking.

You've caught a lovely iridescence in the wings Guy - nice angle too. Top shot.

Cheers,
Chris
