    Whoa! Great shots, Alliec!wings.gif

    I love that bug with the snout, and the damsel looks like the "bug from mars" with the lighting you have.

    I gotta get me one of them there MPE 65's!iloveyou.gif (is there an emoticon for drooling?) But that may be a while, having just splurged on a 40D kit!
