Awesome detail in this macro.. this is a terrific shot!

Harold Fleming

Thanks lots, Heather! It seems neither subject was going to leave the area so one less thing to dwell on as I setup for the shot.

Yves Langlois

Super macro shot Harold. It reminds me those days when I was shooting whit a 100 MACRO. I lost it somewhere in my last moving. But anyway I don't want to bother changing lens during a safary session.

Thank you very much, Yves! I love shooting with the macro, if only that you can step outside of your house and find hundreds of subjects without the need to go on a safari. It's also very compatible with using flash or artificial lighting.

Colourful, great shot, Harold!

Harold Fleming

Thank you, Yaping!
