Female Banded Demosielle

I took this last week on the Hampshire Avon, very nervous insects, so stuck with the 300mm,plus large extension tube, from about ten feet, and they were quite happy with that distance.................

I found the 300mm made life easier, but they can be cooperative I think it depends on how hungry they are. Nice one.

Brilliantly sharp, strong diagonals and beautiful shadows of the legs etc adding an almost abstract element - I love it Stewart!

Nice.... 300 + tubes is the way to go with these...

Nice and crisp with quite a different angle. I like it.
Best wishes

Hi Stewart

Great shot and a fine demonstration of the power of a long telephoto and extension tubes.

Only nit is the background grass stem on the left is a bit distracting but other than that minor quibble this is an excellent and detailed shot.

cheers
