Maybe this will be posted correctly for a change..Using the 1-400 as a long distance macro has helped get this type of shot although I'm still experimenting with which ext. tube and settings to use

Hello David.

It seems that both Danny and I were fixing your post at the same time. You had a space after the Image and the [/img] was after your settings instead of after the image link.

This is a stunning image. Nice clean background that compliments both the blue of the male and brown of the female. Excellent exposure with wondrful texture. Good flat profile view with plenty of DOF at F10 and sharp detail. I hope you caught the various stages of their coupling.

I have watched your photography evolve for quite some time and your work is definitely impressive. The detail is outstanding with excellent DOF. Keep up the great work. :)
