    If I post it, please tell me how to make it better. My fragile ego can take it.

    Thanks Chad for the comments.
    No tripod- I'm holding the leaf the fly is on with my left hand and resting the lens on the same hand. I do sometimes just use a pole that I grip in my left hand along with a bit of camera.

    Wow!!! With hands like that you should be a brain surgeon! Brilliant photos. A completely different world opens up for us because of your passion and skill. Thank you posting. I always enjoy looking at your work.
    My opinion does not necessarily make it true. What you do with my opinion is entirely up to you.
