Hi, my first image post. Crane flies (Tipula oleracea) reared in a colony I maintain for work purposes. Always looking for comments and critique. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done- far prefer #2 - much nicer angle but of course #1 is better for IDing bugs.

Thanks Brian! I have you to thank for finally getting some decent macro shots, I read through your tutorials in the artist-in-residence thread, before taking these yesterday. Very very helpful. Thank you! I've been looking at your stuff for over a year now both here, and "elsewhere.":D

Thanks, Goldenorfe. I do agree, and it's good to hear others say the same. I like #2 myself but thought number one would serve just such a purpose.
