very nice series. well done.

Very very nice hove series. I like the third one the best.

Very well done!!! Great series.

brilliant shots!!! Great going love to see more

Thank you everyone, very much appreciated.

It was extremely tough trying to get the in-flight shot due to the tiny DOF on offer - although the Hoverfly was very co-operative, and seemed to hang around this small patch of Nasturtiums.

Thank you anywho for your great comments!

Excellent series of images.

#1 looks a bit dark on my monitor, but you have kept very good facial detail, that's hard to do, well done.

#2 Very well done, pity it wasn't on a frontal shot though Very sharp shot, again, not easy to do with HIF

#3 It's a nice shot, but appears oversaturated to me, and soft (in the eyes), pity.

#4 As a crop of #3, the softness in the eyes is more apparent, pity

#5 Excellent shot, nice exposure, done well avoiding highlights. Sharp as well. My only (slight) criticism is that perhaps it's a bit too tight of a crop...other than that, very nice. I would have liked to have seen more free space on the right hand side (if possible).

#6 My favourite shot, again very nice exposure and sharpness, and composition really works for me in this shot. Lovely.

#7 Same comments as #3.

Dave

Great series.

Love #'s 3 and 5.

last one for me, love the rich colours and resolution is fine.
