Hello Phil,

Thanks for looking and the comment. I am experimenting with a home-made flash bracket, diffusor, and off-brand flash.

The photo has no PP, only a resize. When you say "soft", what is needed to make the photo better?

I am still on the steep side of the learning curve, so any suggestions would be great.

Here is another from today, what do think?

Thanks again, Mike

both good shots - lighting looks good.
Both do look slightly soft but it may be lack of PP.

Thank you for the comment, I am using your focusing method, a pole and sway, starting to get the hang of it. Seems, I always see the most interesting insects in the hardest to photograph places.

Will try some PP, another learning curve.
