These are all great shots, nice and sharp and smooth color, but I think he's posing for you in that first shot... Hmmm, is he smiling??? :?

Nice shots Dion. That first one is a pearler. I wasn't idle myself today. Will have a few up shortly :roll:

Thanks guys.

I was wishing for a longer macro, the 100mm just isn't long enough, especially when you are leaning over into a lake trying to get dragonflies on reeds!

I will try and get a crop of the first one up.
