Great shot, let me be the first to welcome you to Dgrin! I know what you mean about getting close, I was shooting a spider this morning. Couldn't get the camera to hold still long enough. I look forward to more of your posts.

Now this is something I like...

Great contrast and frozen action..

These things aren't designed to fly and you can see why !!

Great shot.


Have you tried cropping out the left side some? It distracts a little.

Very cool capture with lots of detail and frozen action I agree that cropping out a bit on the left-maybe a third and a bit from the bottom might make the subject a bit more prominent.

Great shot and nice chrisp colors. I'm relatively new to the forum also, but it gets easy very quickly and it's a great place to get good feedback. - Stan
