Another Longhorn
Captured this picture of this longhorn flying towards me, they always look a tad awkward.

The shot is stunning and I wouldn't even know where to begin Dale so well done. Think i would tone down the bright green areas bottom right?

Very nice work Dale.. Got to take my hat off to you on this one..! A touch over-sharpened on the bug and nothing that can't be sorted.. Just wonderful.. :wavey:

I agree this is one of your best Dale. The insect coming towards the lens seems to provide more impact than a side-on view. A great shot.
