Cheers Ian, welcome to the wonderful world of Flydom.

Sharp in the right places, with excellent detail. Hope to see many more. I too am intrigued with what it is sitting on.

Thanks Craig, and you're right I have.

It can only get better, (I hope

) and perhaps raise the comment tally.

and stimulate more interest in these fascinating creatures.

A good, sharp and well detailed close-up with an eye-catching setting.

Good detail where it counts but quite a narrow DOF for f8, may have stopped to about f10-11 to bring the body in as well. With that lovely, unified BG I don't think it will have altered the impact of the shot.

Kind regards,

Brett
