Nice shot!

Good grief Todd, why not just invite it into your camera. That is a beautifully done macro. One that you can count the hairs on each leg. The details are great and the colors are so vivid. Very well done.

Great details, very well captured

I went outside early this morning while it was still in the low 40's and they weren't moving much. I just stuck my lens right up to this one.

Here's another shot of the little critter.

This second image is even closer. Detail again is exceptional. I recently acquired a Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX Macro. I hope that I can get improved results using this lens. Thanks for showing what can achieved.

I think you can't go wrong with a Sigma macro as EM said. Sigma, Pentax, Irix - they all make excellent macro lenses. I only wish Pentax had come up with a current longer one than their 100mm, but Irix stepped in and has produced a very nice lens at 150mm. Good thing, because it seems that is all that I have been photographing as of late...

Mike sure said it!

:
And you just proved my point that somebody should confiscate that Irix glass!
Beautiful flower, totally contaminated by some of the ugliest fly hairs that I have ever seen!

(And I don't regret that, up until now, I have never seen such!)

Angky.

Great detail in these.

Looks like it thinks it is a rocket on the launch pad for vertical take off!

You might have a hard time prying it out of my hands! Thanks for the great comment!

Thanks! It was hopping around from flower to flower and paid little attention to me, luckily.
