With work and other commitments I haven't had much spare time lately but I did manage an hour or two at one of my favourite haunts this afternoon. I've added an extra layer of diffusion which I think has helped soften the light even more.

nice set, amazingly long proboscis on those Dancers. Hope to find a mating pair before they disappear.

Nice set George, I think the lighting looks good, the last shot of the dungfly is really good, comp and coloring and detail super.

Excellent captures George.

The light looks great, but the composition and clarity of your shots is what stands out to me.
