Impressive macro Iain!! Very three-dimensional with a real sense of weight and substance.

Positively inter-galactic. That is the best macro shot I've ever seen. Sensational.

Holy smoke that's a photo and half! Had to take time out from treating my patients just so I can stick a comment on this, it's that deserving, brilliant Iain, outstanding, well done.

Many thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated.

This is taken with the dedicated Canon macro lens mp-e 65 and is focus-stacked from 76 individual handheld images. It was a very patient damselfly...
