Some unique shots there Mark- I sure haven't seen them mating or seen a nymph. Don't think the stack in #2 works- too many halos and not much detail.

Hiya Brian,

Many thanks for your kind words, comments & honesty,

Not sure what I did wrong with the stacking if anything, maybe trying to shoot such small subjects one handed is a to ' Hit & Miss ' thing, I just don't seem to be able to hold steady enough unfortunately if I try to steady with my Stump it goes into Nerve Spasms & start doing the St. Vitus dance twitching & flipping like a fish out of water followed by a torrent of unrepeatables

Cheers for now
Mark
