Thank you!
Arrived back in the Lake district again. Short walk out and grabbed this shot of a fly enjoying some nectar from a buttercup

Used the 180 macro almost exclusively around Rydal

Had another look at the third shot as quite a lot of noise in the darkest area as I'd pushed the levels up a bit. Selected the flower then inversed the selection to exclude it then reduced the exposure of the background by 4 stops to keep some colour in the left part of the shot
