you may have wanted to get closer but the light and your sharp focus is sure doing it's thing. the detailing on the faces are amazing. They always make me think of fairy monkeys

Wow..cheers Tco, and thanks folks, i would never have thought it that good, just right time right place, and the coming month and especially JUly these will be about at most ponds, lakes, rivers etc, (if we get some sun!).

Thanks Denny, i still feel awkward about that, as never classed myself as advanced really, but if it makes you happy...im happy

With the comments like those above there is nothing a novice like me can say really other than this would take picture of the month if it existed.
I am taking note of exif information in the hope I come across any flies that would like to pose.
Brilliant photo
cheers
