Great job Regmar! I love photographing these little guys. If you move slow they will pose for the camera and even let you move them to other locations for a better shot. Very nice composition.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Great shot, i like a lot the profundity and the color in the back, i think that this is one of the most difficult insect in shot, because they fly in the instant that you see. Congratulations!!
Awesome capture Reg........Everything worked here. I think I know why the insects and animals stay still for you on retreat..........you emit peace and it is felt in the air. You are not a threat to them. This fella sure looks good on his perch. You managed to capture the detail of the wings at this angle as well. Well done my friend, well done. Thank you for sharing this with us :~)
Lucky you, it seems you have some secret powers over animals Reg. Great you execute it and then present your astonishing captures to all of us. Great macro.
I don't think you were the only one having a peaceful retreat. This little guy looks quite relaxed if you ask me. I think he was just enjoying the calming atmosphere with you. Great capture. Very serene.
