I like the bokeh on this pic, I have to admit I missed my tripod taking this it was to low down and awkward for my monopod, so have made a note to take both in future.

Cheers

Yes, very effective Tim. Is that rain you've been having down there in Yorkshire??
Best wishes

Hi Tim

Super shot, fantastic sharpness and detail, and great colour too. I like the background texture too, compliments the darter perfectly. The square crop works too with this angle on the darter.

Nice work. :toast:

cheers

Superb sharpness and detail. The wet wings adds that something extra. Well Done!

Every time I think of having a go at this type of shot, I think Tim Munsey.
Makes you want to spit. I usually put the macro lens away again promptly.
Are the wings actually wet or is it just the light bouncing off them?
Excellent. :toast:

LOL Major, yep they're wet it was taken in early morning so perhaps dew, just born i reckon and too wet to fly.

Thanks
