Nice shots Ryan. #2 is the best for me out of these 2 shots.

Good shots of these obliging little insects.

I personally prefer #2, but they're both sharp.

Both are very good shots indeed. Great composition with both. Lovely iridescence on the wings.

WOW, thanks everyone. I can't believe i didn't have to ask for comments on this post. Bill, I could get them a little bigger, but these are already cropped from the originals. It's just a good thing that i got them in good focus :).
Thanks everyone for the C&C
