:shock: Very pretty!
What type of camera are you using for those great pictures? I need to buy a decent camera so I can contribute to this website.

Thank you all for the nice reviews...you're all so kind! :oops:

Just contact me if you would like more detailed info. Remember, you do not need a fancy, expensive camera. I good compact camera with macro function is sufficient. It all comes down to light, white balance and some simple editing in the computer.

Martin, Howdy;

Beautiful fly and once again your photo does it compleate justice.

Thanks for sharing the fruits of your imagination.
