 There are tons of these in various sizes everywhere I have flowers in the yard. This is one of the smaller ones ... posing ever so nicely :-) Love his little shadow.

36mm extenstion tube, handheld. That may be my mantra for this side challenge!

PP - cropped, shifted greens greener, dodged/burnt some on fly, resized, sharpened, blurred background a little, added border.

The sharp focus is great but the lighting and the shadow enhance this shot beautifully. Well captured.

What a great side light photo you have here. I love the dramatic lighting, not something you see in macro lighting.

I am loving your macro shots. They're all so interesting, sharp, colourful and just plain good! I really like that you caught the moving wings here.
