LCMP is up near Jimna - it has been a playground of mine for the past five years, but I am over it now
Mark that is a great image - your best yet I think (and that is saying something)

Thanks folks. It was a spur of the moment thing, no tripod, but I did have the flash on the camera as I was stalking some type of large egret. Wasn't happy with the egret as I couldn't get close enough but I kinda liked this one

Amaaaazing color, and this one is so well seperated from the background, so sharp and detailed I can see the little "hairs"... Brilliant image!

Great shot. I love the translucency of the wings and the spiderdy structure of them.
Congrats

Mark, you have a new nickname :
MR MACRO!
If this doesn't justify your buying the 180mm Sigma macro, nothing will. This is an brilliant shot, soooo sharp and nice colours.
One of your best yet, mate.
Cheers
Michael
