I see this guys and you're right not easy to shoot because of those long legs.:bg3: I like the way you made this one and I'd be very happy with it.

Good composition with those long legs. I think you could sharpen the head a bit more.

Yup, this is a crane fly Kostas. They have a very distinctive head shape. As you found out, comp and DOF are a challenge with their long legs, but you handled it well. I agree that you might try sharpening the head a little more. :S3:
