Nr. 1 Wow ... he's a real danger for my long legged friend. That flash-problem, i do know very well. The same thing catched me with her. Flashing gave me a white pic .. not enough light around and no external flash to use so this has to be it. Hmmm .... I don't think, that this one is as good as your other work, but it is still way beyond a lot of other macros around! Great shot Kim! You are the macro queen and goddess of your bugger army. bowing :)) Nr. 2 Oooops .. that's not nice of you. We don't have any SAM's right now ... runningawayveryfast :( Love him!! Great colours an fantastic shooting ... as ever Kim! May i ask where you're living? So much insects around! hugz Tom :))
