All beautiful shots Brian - a very pretty flower they are on too. I have quite a few of these hovers in the garden at the moment - just hoping the crab spider doesnt get them!

Super shots Brian. In particular (for me) #3 and #5.
Good lighting, brings out the nice details.

Good set Brian, I especially like #3 - composition and lighting are really nice, bonus mating shot!

Love the composition and the lighting on the third frame Brian!

Thanks for the comments :)

Dave and John- yes I rather liked the way #3 turned out- a slight accident - think the angle of the shots was such that most of the flash diffuser was below the flower.
