Some great shots there, and from close range as well by the look of it. I like the bonus fly in the first shot

Great work with the pet project!

Now that's one BIG slice of humble pie.

Words can't describe how impressed I am. Unbelievable images Sindri.

Those are beyond excellent Sindri. I always look forward to your posts. Just when I think I am getting the hang of things you show me new levels to strive for.
