Hi Paul brilliant image as ever.

Errr, wow!
to pick this out with that focal length, compose with an uncluttered background and achieve such detail and sharpness even with the 2x TC and lens wide open...
More great stuff.

extreme artistic appeal. Never thought about what happens to the fertilized egg...haven't seen any pregnant damsel flies flying around. An amazing chemistry lab happening on that stalk of grass.

Far Out!!! what a catch, absolutely fantastic macro shot Paul and to get the egg as well, brilliant, just brilliant...
