In a bugs eye

[40737014]

Hi All,

I saw a Damsel Fly eating a bug and wanted a macro of it.

Problem was that it was sitting on a leaf on a windy day:

Got the wings but not the face:

Got the leaf in front of the fly but not the fly:

Nailed it:

If you look at the file numbers you will see that I had several attempts to get this pic but I love the last image.

Comments always welcome.

I like the last one too; the colours really set it off.

Large Red Damselfly has awesome eyes.
To get this close is not easy. The end of the lens is only about 15cm (6 Inches) from the fly.
