Don't worry Ken, we won't tell the boss!

Good job, especially for your first d-fly. You could've shot from further away with your 100mm lens, though! :-)

Yeah I suppose I could have and could have probably got a shot from a different angle instead of from sneaking up behind the critter. I really need to use my 100mm more but I find the 60mm much more handy since I do a variety of shots other than macros. :)

I can see why Tom, just from your images here of late. :D
