Libellula with bigma
Libellula depressa
New venture for me. Nothing special but done in the garden yesterday with the Sigma 50-500 on full zoom.
Tripod D200 250th @ f11
400ISO Contrast-1
Few background highs cloned out

Thanks - I'd like to do more with it like this but it's carting the tripod about. It'll have to be confined to the garden ! I could adapt a zimmer maybe !
I've started to play with levels a lot more which seems to be helping too.
Cheers

You certainly should John; there's lots of potential using that approach - nice one.
