    A similar image to one posted last week but this was taken on a different day with dissimilar lighting conditions using alternative equipment.
    As always I eagerly await your C&C.

    Hi Jon. Your previous excellent post of this species is a hard act to follow! Here you have another nice specimen giving you a good pose in even light and against an OOF background. Overall, this is a very nice image, but IMO it lacks the punch of your previous image - it may be just the difference in lighting. (?) I guess all I'm saying is that when I compare the two images, I like the first one better. A couple tweaks you might consider - the whites in the flower seem to be lacking detail - you might try some targeted adjustments there to see if it helps. Also, I would suggest cloning the small bright area near the URC as it tends to draw my eye.

    Thanks for the comments much appreciated. The lighting was slightly different and I also think it lacks the quality of the previous image becasue this was taken with the zoom as opposed to the macro lens - despite the big difference in ISO.
