I've just read the comments below and wow, didn't you ever get a co-operative little bug! I haven't tried too many of these really close macro shots of insects because I just do not have the patience and the little mongrels keep flying away on me. Oh how I wish I could capture a few this good. What flash/lighting did you use? The comments below indicate (and I agree) that it's a tiny bit harsh, but I'd keep that if it meant the difference between 'OK detail' and this much detail :) Great shot. Love the iridescent shine on both bugs.

This is excellent. I'm a fan of well done bird pics, and this is extremely well done. It's so crisp it's hard to imagine it was only an 800 shutter. Beautiful eye detail too.

I think this picture would get a lot more impact if you cropped out the boats and houses on the opposite shore, leaving just the water.

This is a gorgeous abstract! I wonder what it would look like flipped vertically?? How did you do this? I would love to know the steps.

I seriously expected this to finish much, much higher than this; it was my only 10 in the challenge.

Great image Cory. Should have finished higher in my view.
