Amazing detail! Right down to the strand of dust hanging from it's right antenna. Wow. Unlike Mr. Nelson (I think it was him), the flash don't bother me at all. Then again, I've never taken these sorts of shots, so I don't have that "prejudice" <g>. A Katydid, eh? Reminds me that I should listen to some Steely Dan soon. I wish that I had Katy Lied on CD. Or, that my turntable worked (still with the bent tonearm). Anyway, lovely shot, Rob. cheers, frank ===== "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst" ******** "Of course it's all luck" -- Henri Cartier-Bresson ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
