The 2nd shot is good as well, but the contrast from the bright sun looks like it was going to always give the exposure for this shot a hard time - the left side of the Fly is partly in shadows and hiding details

They just seem to draw insects of all types and usually a crab spider or two. Wonderful shots here, very well taken.

I just purchased an off camera flash cord, I just don't have any bracket to mount the flash to yet, but I think that will help to solve some of the shadow areas... but who knows about the bright white pedals.

Anyone who wants a very good dSLR and is on a budget should consider this camera while Canon has the $100.00 rebate going. I really like the 350D and of course my 20D too.

Thanks again for your comments. The bracket will help a lot. You'll never leave the house without it
