Thanks folks. Huw - I love the 35mm. No matter what lenses I take out with me I always seem to end up with the DA 35 on the camera. I love the way it focusses even when you're almost touching the subject and it's really sharp (subject to me keeping my arms still)

Cheers

A bit 'off the wall' for your normal Mat. Damn fine result though.

Thanks Paul - you're right, although having seen these in the yard, I had to take a snap of them...

Great shot Mat. From the thumbnail I thought you'd pulled the wings off a fly

Thanks Andrew and Tim, much appreciated - they do look like insect wings. Guess they work in the same way... Would have come off a big fly though - maybe then I'd have a better chance of catching one in my viewfinder...
