Hello Sue,
extraordinary POV here - YES they do have faces and very interessting eyes. Thanks for your critique on my Red Dragon post. I never knew there are different species like dragon and damselfly. Thats why i do not ost to TN. It would be impossible for me to identify what I am shooting - or at least take very much time to find out. Have a great day.

Hi Sue
Excellent close up!
regards

Hi Sue
Like your narrow DOF - makes it look like a pair of eyes are climbing over the vegetation. Very well captured. Don't know how the folks on TN will react but I'll give it a 10.

Been off the machine for a while but should be back for a while now.
