So happy to find some time to process and post; it is way too hot outside this week to do any shooting. The temperature has soared to about 38C and with the humidity index, it feels much more in the mid 40's...

#1 lacks contrast, great detail!
#2 would prefer a lower angle
#3,4 great!
#5 contrast again :)
#6 like it
#7 seems a bit blured, or not sharp enough
#8 love it!

PS: some dust spots...

Thank you, Lester. I was just lucky; they are quite skittish indeed!

#6 (hover fly) is a beautiful shot. Even if I'm more of a spider guy ;)

Excellent set.

Thank you, JD. We try to get out early in the mornings before the heat erupts. Looking forward to this week-end as we expect a break and more agreeable weather. :)

Thank you so much, Moose. Appreciate your comments. That was a very cooperative hover and I managed to get quite a few shots of him.
