Cool shot!! How you did that for 10 seconds of exposure? Wouldn't it fly away?

Dude. Totally awesome. I did not know there was such a picture in the challenge, but I took some shots posted in this thread probably within a few days of your pic. I like yours a bit better for the BG and color treatment though.

Nice.

I will probably post more details and setup shots later on to maintain that a bit when I get time for those who are interested.

Most other challenges you'd have won the blue with this Phil - bad luck Manny happened along this time. Very nice macro nonetheless, and absolutely deserves to be on the front page.

well done.
