Must be the hols Nick. Also in this good weather people are out in the field. I myself am not getting back from the farm until 9.30pm then its supper and bed ready for the alarm at 5am. LOWLS morning and night with sleep and work in between so posting has to wait :wink:

Nice shot by the way. Highlights on the twig look a bit bright though on my office monitor?

Can't fault it, Nick. I think the position of the wings is just about perfect, as is the shot :toast:

Being picky the, oof forewing drags my eye a bit, I,ve been doing dragonflies for the past two weeks continuously and with a shot from this angle it has to be stacked in my humble opinion. It only takes a couple of shots.
Good pic anyway.

Thanks for the comments folks...wasn't too sure about the highlights on the twig myself. Look forward to seeing your stacked images JR, not for me though.

Nick.

highlights do look a bit bright Nick but very nice otherwise.
