John, Paul, Jim & Rob, thanks for your comments.
John, insect wings are pretty neat. I've got some shots of a dragonfly and the detail & colour in the wings is amazing.
I agree Paul that more DOF would have been nice, but I was shooting hand held with natural light so I was forced to keep the shutter speed well up. I'm not a steady as some :-)
Jim, Rob, I've taken your comments on board and have re-worked it a bit.

Your thoughts?
Again, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Perfect shot. Focus just right, the wing is magnificent.

Nice composition, but I think you need another couple of stops worth of DOF to make it as powerful a shot as it could be. You would at least want both wings in focus. Flash in a diffuser on high-speed synch would be the easiest way to acihieve that. Paul

I like it... colors, composition, subject. The oof petals in the foreground might > > have been a bit less "in the way" if they had been burned in a little.

Nice image, just needs a hint of warming though I suspect.

These guys are such a PITA to shoot, they don't sit still very long.
Comments & criticisms welcome,
