interesting mix, those Long-legged flies always react to the pre flash so you need to go manual although in this case you got a pretty sharp flight shot.

Thanks guys!

Racketman - I tried about two dozen shots of those long-legged flies, only to have an empty leaf showing in the picture...thanks for the tip!!

Cave drane - Wow, good call! Those flowers were actually sticking up in the shallow water of a lake. How do you guys know about all of these odd insects?
