Hi Dave
nice little shot if I was you I would increase the iso to 200 up the f stop to f/16
and the shutter to its highest sink speed this will help I feel.

The use of colours really set this one off a cracking shot.

Nicely done David.

A great insight into what the insect sees when going in to land.

Cheers
