I'm with you. These really BUG me! ;o But, this is a great capture. I like your dof too and that little sprig of wheat or whatever it is. Well done.

Well, this is one weird bug!! You did an excellent job keeping the focus on the subject. I sometimes find with such a small creature as this, the digital lens will pick up the wrong thing to focus on.

Hoi Paul,

Mooie scherpe foto van een "langpoot". Wordt er zo langzamerhand weer tijd voor (herfst) samen met de vele grote spinnen. Bedankt ook nog voor je complimenten op mijn laatste 2 foto's en voel je vooral niet verplicht om overal een commentaar bij te typen. Doe / kan ik ook niet, moet ook nog (anders) werken per slot van rekenening. Het blijft vaker bij het alleen uitbrengen van een stem.
Groeten, Eric

Hi Mr. Paul, my oh my, you sure did glorify the Crane Fly indeed! What a nice photo and done so skillfully! I, like BJ, don't like these little critters but you really made him look good! It is a great capture, and I love the beautiful green background, fresh and clean! It appears as though he is dancing his way through his short little life! Smiling! Sincerely, Marilyn
