Hey Vida,
You get some really great DOF at f8 with that lens! The eye detail and pollen kernals?.....are fantastic! You really know how to make the most of that lens which isn't easy to say the least!

[Paul Lagasi]

Very cool image, the detail is amazing, color and sharpness of the eyes..very well done

[Allen Sparks]

I just cannot imagine how you continue to get these amazing images...love the eye detail, the pollen, and the color is wonderful.

[Ken Childs]

Another amazing shot, Vida! The pollen really adds a lot to this.

I've so missed your image Vida! So glad to see you're back for bug season. Outstanding colors and details here. The two for one action is a real bonus. You amaze me with that lens!

[Vida van der Walt]

Roman, Paul, Allen, Ken and Jules, thank you all for the lovely comments.:) Jules, I wish it was bug season here in SA.:) We are in the middle of a very cold winter now and I'm finding it increasingly hard to find something to shoot. I will have to go looking in my archives for something to post or otherwise you are going to see a lot of shots of ordinary flies, shot from every possible angle.;):D
