Poised for Takeoff

Found this little fellow at a local nursery specializing in water plants...only 10 minutes or so from my home. :) Thanks to the nice folks at Hill Country Water Gardens and Nursery for allowing me to creep around their premises a couple of mornings ago.

  Another amazing capture Val, stunning!!
He almost seems to be smiling, maybe the wee ham loves to get his picture taken.

  Marvelous macro of this little guy and fabulous POV, Val! I love how you've captured him straight-on. Of course your detail and clarity are always amazing and I love your soft background. I've only been able to capture a DF once - and even then I didn't have my macro lens with me!

  Was he just waiting for you to come along? What a perfect poser, he looks thrilled to have his picture taken, and of course you took full advantage of it! Perfect everything, Val!! (Of course....)
