Missed it again,

Not by much though this time, as the wings are still all crinkled.

C&Cs as usual
Freash out of the cocoon with crinkled wings

A really good story, Paul. The first one looks a little soft, though.

Interesting abstract as well.
Best regards

Paul,

Lovely series, and commiserations on not getting the hatching one/s you were really after! Mother Nature is an interesting lady...

Thanks Terje-l, I will have a look at the RAW file again and see what I can do to sharpen. Othe than RAW to JPG conversion I didn't do any PP'ing on them (except the abstract).

I was watching it for days and then on saturday I noticed it was black and I could see the wings through the cocoon, I went in side to see my kids for a second came back out and ARRGGGHH it had hatched.

Never Mind theres always next year !

I think the lack of a wider DOF is killing some photos.
You nailed it however with Almost ready to fly I really like that one from all aspects, you might even make that photo slightly brighter to make it more punchy if you know what I mean.
