Congrats, lovely capture Mick, great detail and resolution. Were you using the Tamron 90/2,8? I've yet to get close enough.

Regards,

John

Gosh excellent - I'm like John... can't get close enough with my DFA 100mm... odds on I'm just not stealthy enough

John
Yes taken with my Tammy 90 2.8 (I love this lens) I must admit I got lucky with the shot I think it had just emerged and was still drying its wings hence I could get close, still a buzz when you get the shot though. Thanks for the comments guys.
