John, Paul, Jim & Rob, thanks for your comments. John, insect wings are pretty neat. I've got some shots of a dragonfly and the detail & colour in the wings is amazing.
I agree Paul that more DOF would have been nice, but I was shooting hand held with natural light so I was forced to keep the shutter speed well up. I'm not a steady as some :-) Jim, Rob, I've taken your comments on board and have re-worked it a bit.
