Well, I'm starting to recognize the FW stockyards.... Spiff, this one has to be yours.

I like the perspective here, but this might have been nice in HDR as I see hints of a fascinating interior.

Robberfly vs Cranefly

Comment:
Gotta be a Roz, just too many elements that match..

I'm going to comment assuming this is Roz's work - if it's not then just replace all of the following words with "wow"...

Not your absolute best shot, but this is certainly a really good shot with the appropriate background/environmental elements... DOF and positioning could have been just a little more fortuitous, but I know well that you can't always get what you want, especially when shooting bugs..
