Mayfly

[Anita Rakestraw]

Spotted this mayfly on the patio door screen. Wanted to photograph it on a plant, but took this shot first in case it would not stay when I replaced it elsewhere.....and sure enough, when I moved it, it took off....:(

Beautiful detail and great DOF, Anita. I like it as presented but would also like it equally as well if you rotated it 90 degrees clockwise so it was in a horizontal presentation. Sometimes you gotta take the shot you're given!

This is really neat on the screen. Horizontal would look better,I agree.

Hi Anita,

Nice capture. Remember these guys well from my fly fishing days. Excellent detail for f/5.0. Agree about going horizontal.

Thanks, guys! Horizontal it will be. (-:
