Interesting.. something almost 3D about this shot from the curl of the leaf to the eyes on the fly.. Some nice detail throughout.. I think I prefer this of the three.. Nice work.

Hi David,

Great colours and detail in there, the dry leaf really adds to the image!

Cheers,

very nice... certainly the best of the series.... (got to say I'm not a fan of the frame but that is personal taste so not a nit)
