Beautiful John, you have the plane of focus ideally positioned. Love the dew and the colours.
Did you take any with a faster shutter speed? It may be worthwhile increasing the sharpeneing a tiny bit around the head and thorax around the base of the wings.

Thanks Jonathan,

This is the fastest shutter speed i have. It was quite Challenging to get the sensor parallel here. I should have stacked this.
