A super shot :toast: Every summer I plan to set aside a couple of days to photograph these and never get round to it. Having seen this I'm kicking myself now - they're a fab subject.

You've got some gems locked away on that Hard Drive of yours mate, and this is no exeption. Good title, fab BG, and a pin sharp subject! Really good. :toast:

very nice, the focussing/dof is just right, which is what i always fail at with macro, great colours

That is green alright :cool: A cracker Geoff. Well done for eventually getting it a blade of grass. I only ever seem to get them on vegetation where there is too much distraction. :wavey:
