A very very excellent macro Paul. I think that the idea to dedicate this one in particular to Gert and Japp is appropriated. TFS

I dont mind the noise which aint too bad anyway,its the eye that gets all my attention.
Good work and great note too.

Paul. Like Gerts comment as this really is a "microphoto"! Your glass must've been almost kissing this Darters face here. So what do you do - whisper sweet nothings into their ear or what? How about sharing some of your techniques on stalking these things because so far they seem to have eyes in the back of their heads! Quite literally! ;-))

quel est ton secret Paul !
nous savons tous que ton apareil d'origine ne peut prendre une telle macro sans complement d'objectif ! c'est pas une microscope hein ....
vraiment epustouflant ce detail.
very good work.

To boldy go where no man has gone! Paul this is a superb job. I think you have paid homage to them in such a manner as only you could. Fantastic job, I can stare at this for hours.

The eye detail you show here is brilliant paul , it show so clearly the detail in the differnt sort of eyes that make them such a formidable hunter , well done especially this late in the year worth waiting for.

Wonderful detail, so explicit with your note. It realy shows an elaborate system, with all details. Now, how do you do this? How do you hypnotyze darters? Ok for snakes with a flute :-), but here... Anyway, the result is stunning. I prefer the original version.

To think, I decoratd all the ceramics, stained glass windows, and jewelery I made, often with dragonflies, never realizing how weird and ugly they are up close!!!! I still love them! Fantastic photo!

Hey, Paul, this is indeed a macro. By using 1/30 I would get no sharpness at all. You did really great here. Excellent composition, nice pov and dof.

Stunnig.

Wonderful image, Paul. I have been gone for a month or more while my hard drive was shot. I lost all my images but fortunately $519 later, they were saved.

I've missed the drama with Gert and Jaap. I'll try to check up on the forums. Thanks for this detailed image!
