Razer sharp Ian :toast: :toast: Great detail

Lovely and sharp where it needs to be.Nice soft background with just a hint of damselfly detail.Just wonder if you had less room at the top and a little more at the bottom to include the end of the oof body, might have made it even better.
Still a very good shot though Ian.

From your description Ian its sounds as though you are stood on your head. :biggrin: Good use of DOF but perhaps as suggested a bit more of the body showing. It still works well though as is.
